Jacquelyn has been a loyally recognized face of FACCES. For the past 3 years, she has regularly volunteered in the Food Education program at the FACCES Fresh Market, and the FACCES Urban Garden. “It’s all been a positive experience coming to the greenhouse. Coming there has certainly spurred me on, I have always had a green thumb.”  Her ambition to learn about agriculture, and how it can bring people together has always been her focus and passion. She has created and managed her own garden using the tools and lessons learned from the FACCES Urban Gardener’s Meeting. This coming year, she looks forward to joining the FACCES team and connecting with more families and organizations! 

The 2022 Faces of FACCES event, held on February 1, 2023, celebrated families, and community partners. FACCES families shared their firsthand experiences and successes from utilizing services under the FACCES hub. FACCES supporters were also highlighted for their incredible work and for collaborating with FACCES to uplift the amazing families in our community.   We want to express how truly appreciative we are as an organization to have a diverse group of families and partners. They play a huge role in fulfilling the FACCES mission.  Check out The FACCES 2022-23 Impact Report released in February of 2023. 

We would like to highlight Officer Goodman of the Columbus Police Department as the February 2023 Faces of FACCES. Officer Goodman’s face is becoming more and more recognized in the community. Because of his hard work and motivation to learn more about the members of the community, he has invested his time and energy to help serve FACCES families at our events! “I truly see the appreciation from the people that come to FACCES for the amazing services, and I’m just happy to play a part in that.” – Officer Goodman We’d like to say thank you to Officer Goodman for his contribution to the community and families of FACCES!
