EMERGENCY FOOD COLLOQUIUM BRINGS LOCAL FOOD PROVIDERS TOGETHER

Emergency food providers, social service agencies and representatives from other key sectors of the local food system gather at the first meeting of the Montclair-Area Community Food Security Colloquium. Pictured (above right) is Steve Adubato, Ph.D., noted broadcast journalist, facilitating the opening session of the colloquium series. The effort is providing a forum to confront the challenges of hunger through the formation of new partnerships, creative problem solving and enhanced communication.

The Food Trust, a non-profit based in Philadelphia, is convening the three-meeting colloquium, which is funded by a grant from the Mountainside Health Foundation. Local agencies interested in getting involved may contact Kathy Smith at the Foundation at (973) 746-6130, ext. 14, or ksmith@mshfoundation.org
