 Please join us for a virtual Community Planning Session to help inform an upcoming funding opportunity: Remote Access from Rural Food Banks Pilot.
This strategy seeks to improve access to services for individuals in rural areas through rural food banks that will operate as centralized points of access from which residents may increase knowledge about what human services may be available to meet their needs, connect to service providers and/or potentially receive direct support or assistance at this centralized location.
The Community Planning Session will be held on Tuesday, March 2 from 2:30 – 4:30pm on Zoom. To learn more and register.
