In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are being forced to make choices between food and transportation, utilities, and medical care—leaving even more at risk of ongoing food insecurity. Research shows that not having consistent access to food is related to negative effects on child development, disease management, and overall health.
Join this webinar TODAY — Tuesday, February 16 at 12:00 pm PST– to learn strategies to address food insecurity from two fantastic guest speakers:
- Gita Rampersad, Vice President of Health and Nutrition at Feeding America
- Berenice Medina, Health Initiative Coordinator for The Idaho Foodbank
They will discuss how using the food pantry system is not only a way to address food insecurity, but also a way to engage community members in important dialogue and efforts to address other equity issues that influence the social determinants of health within their community.
A one-hour interactive virtual discussion will immediately follow the webinar.
