Save the Date – Bridging the Pennsylvania Network: Linking Food Production and Distribution with Food Security
The PA Association of Regional Food Banks, the PA Department of Agriculture – Bureau of Food Distribution, and the PA Hunger Action Center has collaborated to plan a series of three forums to take place over the next year. The first of this is to be held Wednesday, September 16 from 8:00 to 3:00 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show VIP Room. The cost to attend the event is $60 and registration is required by September 4th.

The objective for these forums is to build a mass of interested parties from all aspects of the “food shed” into an identifiable and interactive Pennsylvania Food Network.
The first forum will include emergency food assistance providers, government and NGO food agencies, and anti-hunger advocates. Generally, the objectives for this meeting will be to:
· gain an appreciation of the scope of this network component
· gain an understanding of organizational commonalities as the departure point for ongoing communication and coordination
· initiate discussion and plans for partnership development to be addressed in the second session
