~ Hello Greenwich Food Alliance ~
Thank you for your participation and contribution on Friday. It was an excellent discussion! Meeting with Connecticut food system leaders and advocates is important, as it communicates that Greenwich is aligned and supports systemic solutions to food insecurity + food/environmental justice.
For those of you who were unable to join us, the recording, available until, 2/6.
~ Endorsement ~
If anyone is opposed to endorsing the Office of the Food Advocate and School Meals 4 All please email me directly by end of day Wednesday, February 1st. If I do not
hear from anyone, I will assume GFA supports both initiatives and I will include
the GFA (logo) as part of the coalition.
