Subject: Invitation: Community Stakeholder Input Meeting to Develop the Minnesota Food Charter

Dear Community Stakeholder: 

In August, MDH is seeking community stakeholder participation in a state wide process to develop a Minnesota Food Charter.  

The meeting will take place on August 6, 2013, from 9 AM until 12 PM at The Neighborhood House at the Wellstone Center, Saint Paul, MN.  Registration is at 8:30 AM. PLEASE Review Attached Letter of Invitation.

The Minnesota Food Charter is an important state-level public health effort that is designed to enhance the local community health work of the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP), by establishing a multi-faceted blueprint that expands access to healthy food where people live, work, learn, and play. Your participation in this meeting will help MDH ensure the voices of those communities with the greatest health disparities are heard during the Food Charter development process.  

In addition to your attendance, we encourage you to bring one additional community representative, community member, or colleague to join this meeting.  

To confirm your attendance, please contact Angela Pope, with the Office of Statewide Health Improvement Initiatives, at (651) 201-5438 or by email at angela.pope@state.mn.us. Please RSVP by Friday, August 2, 2013.  

For questions or more details, contact Tim Jenkins at (651) 201-5965 or by email at tim.jenkins@state.mn.us.  

Thank you in advance for your commitment and participation! 

Sincerely,

Michelle Larson, MPA

Acting Director, Office of Statewide Health Improvement Initiatives
