Food councils – be the grantee and the grantor! We’re inviting you to be the funder for our 2020 Food Council Microgrants. Applications will open in July.
We’re hosting statewide calls twice a month to hear from food councils, share updates, hear strategies, and find additional supports for ongoing needs.
We are offering an online series of Facilitating for More Voices workshops. Every other week on Thursdays, 12:30 – 2:00pm, from March 26th to May 28th.
We host collaborative policy calls by topic area to learn, ask questions, build strategy, and make connections across councils and partners across the state.
We host these calls quarterly by region to build connections across food councils, stay updated with each other’s work, and build strategy on issues.
