Clair Cummings ('11) and other volunteers work to produce healthy food within city limits.

Since September, alumna Claire Cummings (‘11) has been working with a group called Citizen Effect to raise money for the Common Good City Farm project. Citizen Effect produced a short film about Claire’s efforts to help families improve their lives by farming (right there in Washington, DC!) and eating nutritious food.

Check out the video of Claire’s story below.
