Supporting positive social change INTA and our TrainingWeal programs are part of a huge network encouraging positive social change. We support many other programs, some with contributions, some just by spreading word of their good works. We encourage you to explore all of our supported and related programs. Some of the programs we support have an international focus and are profiled on our International Programs page. Other programs highlight local or regional action in North America. Here are some of the programs that focus on food, hunger, and community.Programs We Sponsor

The Gleaning Stories Project is based in Santa Cruz, California. It collects the
stories of the gleaners who go into the fields after harvest to collect the
excellent produce left behind and provide it to local food banks. The gleaners are old and young, Spanish-speaking and English-speaking, experienced field hands and novices. Their stories are personal, but they all are making gleaning a model of making a difference by avoiding waste and working together.

Kids Can Make A Difference (KIDS) is a program of World Hunger Year (WHY).
It is an innovative educational program for middle- and high-school students.
It helps them understand the root causes of hunger and poverty and how
they-as individuals-can take action. KIDS programs have spread around the country. KIDS was featured in a wonderful article called "Beyond the Canned Food Drive" in Teaching Tolerance magazine in 2007. |

Giving Anonymously is a non-profit organization facilitating generosity between people.
Anyone who enjoys putting cash under a friends door or in their mailbox will often times
not know if their friend actually got the gift and they cannot hear what it meant to them.
So, we came up with an idea to have a messaging line where recipients could call after
receiving their gift. When a recipient doesn’t know who gave the gift to them they are
even more free to express their gratitude and we capture this through voice files that
we email to the donor.
