contact NBIA about kitchen incubators. There used to be a terrific
kitchen incubator in Denver. Rural development at USDA supports loan guarantees
for such projects if they are situated in rural communities.

Grand Junction, CO also has a wonderful kitchen incubator. The organization
began with a business incubator and CDBG funded revolving loan fund. It
expanded to include a kitchen incubator as a response to the needs of local
orchards needing a way to maximize the value of their crops by processing
some rather than having to ship only fresh fruit. The model of SBDC, loan
fund, business and kitchen incubator all housed under one roof has been very
successful. (About 15 years ago I managed the loan fund, which has expanded
to include venture capital for entrepreneurs since I left.) Incubators have
been funded in some locations by EDA also.

Hi - this is an excellent list, following you all is definitely more of an inspiration than a displacement activity for me!

Kitchen Incubator looks like an interesting model, in particular with good service integration, although some of my 'google hits' on the matter have come up with caveats. I'm looking at this from a specifically urban point of view in order to establish and assess a case locally: can anyone help me find any examples from US or from anywhere else in this list?

thanks, and best wishes

Original message from: sharonyeago@gmail.com

Kitchen incubators are a hot topic right now with the small farm
direct marketing world, but there are not many well established model
programs in place yet.

Leslie Schaller, a fellow Farmers Market Coalition board member, works
for the Appalachian Center for Economic Networks
http://www.acenetworks.org/ - in addition to multiple kitchen sites,
they offer a branding/marketing component as well as distribution for
retail sales.

There are a number of projects that are in the planning and granting
stage, so by this time next year you should be able to find additional
programs.

Original message from: GMaher@lisc.org

One of LISC's partners in Boston, Nuestra Comunidad, started a kitchen
incubator called Culinary Ventures for small food service entrepreneurs in
and near the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury where they are located.
Culinary Ventures remained afloat for awhile, but underperformed and
recently faltered and needed to be transferred to another entity. Might be
worth your time contacting Nuestra staff to hear of the specific challenges
they experienced and what they might have done differently based on lessons
learned.

Hi - this is an excellent list, following you all is definitely more of
an inspiration than a displacement activity for me!

Kitchen Incubator looks like an interesting model, in particular with good
service integration, although some of my 'google hits' on the matter have
come up with caveats. I'm looking at this from a specifically urban point
of view in order to establish and assess a case locally: can anyone help me
find any examples from US or from anywhere else in this list?

thanks, and best wishes

Grand Junction, CO also has a wonderful kitchen incubator. The
organization
began with a business incubator and CDBG funded revolving loan fund. It
expanded to include a kitchen incubator as a response to the needs of
local
orchards needing a way to maximize the value of their crops by processing
some rather than having to ship only fresh fruit. The model of SBDC, loan
fund, business and kitchen incubator all housed under one roof has been
very
successful. (About 15 years ago I managed the loan fund, which has
expanded
to include venture capital for entrepreneurs since I left.) Incubators
have
been funded in some locations by EDA also.

Subject: America Saves: January Partner Update



AS Header

Dear Partners,

As America Saves Week 2010 fast approaches, we are gearing up for a record
amount of activity and want to make sure we are communicating updates and
new developments. We think you'll enjoy the highlights, event announcements
and news included here.

Please take a few minutes to read through this email and contact Christine
Lamitina ( <mailto:clamitina@consumerfed.org> clamitina@consumerfed.org)
with questions, comments, or to be removed from this distribution list.

America Saves Week Updates

. 2009 was an exciting year for America Saves. We appreciate all
your help in communicating the importance of savings and wanted to share a
few
<http://americasaves.org/elements/www...09-AS-Wrap%20U
p.pdf> highlights from last year.

. Participation in America Saves Week is rising; over 175
organizations have signed up to participate
<http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?s...22hJshQ_3d_3d> using
our online sign-up survey . Thanks to the many local banks, credit unions,
chapters of FCCLA, Extension offices, non-profit partners and others who
have provided this information. Click
<http://americasavesweek.org/about/participating.asp> here for our current
list of participating groups, and email <mailto:clamitina@consumerfed.org>
clamitina@consumerfed.org to add your organization to the list.

. Over 40 local Saves campaigns in more than 20 states are gearing
up for community-level America Saves Weeks with hundreds of scheduled
events, which include savings contests at local financial institutions,
classes and workshops, savings advisors at free tax preparation sites, and
even "Piggy Bank Beauty Contests" for families. Local campaigns are also
busy recruiting new partners, planning media and marketing efforts, and
reaching out to local government officials.

. New partners for America Saves 2010 include ING, Utah State
University, New Jersey Society of CPAs, and WorkLife Program at Purdue
University. Waddell & Reed commented on the importance of America Saves
Week 2010 stating, "With the current state of the economy, people are
beginning to realize that they must begin to take the necessary steps to
save for tomorrow. The tools and resources that America Saves Week provides
will be invaluable for the betterment of those we serve."

. Since promoting savings and financial education is a year-long
campaign, we also offer quarterly resource packets focusing on one aspect of
savings. This quarter's focus is on the
<http://www.americasaves.org/organize/2010Q1.asp> basics of savings. We hope
that this material will help you communicate with the public, constituents,
and with other organizations about how your company or organization promotes
and encourages long-term savings.



Activity Highlights



* The International Foundation of Employee Benefits Plans is launching
a retirement readiness campaign and urging its members to spread the word of
risk tolerance. The Foundation plans to distribute these materials through
their websites, e-mail communications, and in February's Benefits &
Compensation Digest. Through their efforts, the Foundation anticipates more
than 100,000 plan participants will receive the message of developing solid
retirement plans.
* The Consumer Federation of America, America Saves' parent
organization, along with the American Savings Education Council, is planning
a press event for February to release new survey data on national savings
habits. More information will be available soon.
* JPMorgan Chase will be stressing the importance of long-term saving
for retirement by matching employee contributions dollar-for-dollar to a
sponsored 401K plan, up to 5%.
* The Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance is coordinating
a statewide event "Louisiana's College Goal Sunday Event" on February 21 to
provide students free one-on-one assistance from financial aid professionals
on preparing for college.
* WorldatWork will encourage employees to complete a confidential
online financial assessment during America Saves Week. Enrollees receive a
financial wellness score along with a personalized report outlining steps to
improve their financial situation. One-on-one financial coaching with
certified financial planners will also be offered to help motivate and
inspire savers.

If your organization needs assistance planning for the Week, contacts are as
follows:

. America Saves Week-Nancy Register (

McDonnell ( <mailto:mcdonnell@ebri.org> mcdonnell@ebri.org)

Original message from: lyndon.comstock@gmail.com

My brief comment, based on my experience in working with a commercial
kitchen incubator in Brooklyn a few years back, is that marketing of food
products is a far more difficult issue than production. I would suggest
focusing two-thirds of one's efforts on supporting entrepreneurs in
successfully bringing their product to the customer. Food marketing
channels are often very difficult for small companies to access. We made
the mistake of focusing our efforts on assistance with production,
financing, and administration. Those are all extremely important but not
nearly as intractable as the marketing challenges.
