The Food Security Summit is a six-part virtual series aiming to create space for people to learn about needs and resources and explore a shared understanding and a common vision to address regional food insecurity and hunger in the greater Grand Traverse region.
It strives to create additional public awareness through sharing data and stories of care, resiliency, and change, and to highlight a whole-community issue that is rapidly increasing in severity with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
From StoryCorps and Fair Food Network, “What is your SNAP story?” Food is fundamental, what you need before anything else. But its not just about access to food, it’s about access to hope.
