Family Agriculture Resource Management Services (F.A.R.M.S.) has been named a finalist in The Atlantic’s The Renewal Awards, a nationwide competition recognizing local organizations driving positive change in their communities and bringing progress to the country.

Online voting began on Wednesday, February 7 and runs through Wednesday, February 21, at TheAtlantic.com/Renewal-Awards.

The Renewal Awards seek to illuminate grassroots solutions to challenges faced by communities around the country in an unsettling economic era.

Ultimately, five organizations will each receive a $20,000 grant from Allstate and five runners-up will each receive a $10,000 grant from Allstate.

The Renewal Awards are related to The Renewal Project, a social-first website and newsroom spotlighting people and organizations advancing social good and contributing to civic innovation across the country.

Last year’s Renewal Awards were presented in March 2017 after a yearlong search for America’s most promising social innovators. The six winning organizations, chosen from a pool of more than 460 nominees, were: New Alternatives for LGBTQ Homeless Youth (New York, NY), Free Minds Book Club & Writing Workshop (Washington, DC), Kounkuey Design Initiative (Los Angeles, CA), LostBoyz, Inc. (Chicago, IL), and Hour Children (Long Island City, NY), also the “Allstate Youth Empowerment” winner.
