The ReDistribution Alternative is a local non-profit organization comprised of an all-volunteer staff. RDA is dedicated to helping those in need of shelter, food, and healing through programs that utilize the redistribution of existing resources. RDA works in conjunction with local churches and food banks to provide shelter and food. Last year, RDA distributed over 20,000 pounds of food, hundreds of blankets, and many articles of clothing.
RDA hopes that Unity Fest will help to fund future projects. Among RDA's goals for future projects are a new facility and office space, an organic farm to be able to provide it's own resources to distribute, and a healing center that would contain a cannery and a free legal aid clinic.
Lynne Greiver, co-founder of RDA, described her hopes for the benefit, "We want Unity Fest and RDA to bring people together, people helping people. We have a lot of work to do and so much we want to accomplish to continue our work"
