SUMMARY:Emergency Food Resource Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Southcoast Food Policy Council is convening a critical discussion on how to prepare for disruptions in food relief programs — and how we can build a more resilient regional food system together.

Whether you’re involved in food recovery\, institutional food service\, or care about food justice\, your voice is essential. Let’s turn concern into collective action. These Meetings will be held MONTHLY\, virtually\, on the 1st Wednesday of each month from 2-3 pm.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn Issue Briefing: Donation of Food/Equity in Agriculture
