The fifth session explores defining what values drive community solutions surrounding food insecurity by engaging with government, nonprofit, and private food assistance providers and the persons they serve. Values impact our individual and collection motivations, and define our beliefs and behaviors. Our values drive our personal choices and also impact the way we communicate and design and implement policies, programs, and services. Speakers and panelists share values through the lenses of the organizations and communities they represent.

This session explores opportunities for next steps toward becoming a more food secure region. This session summarizes the resources, strengths, challenges, and proposed solutions shared in the first five sessions. Participants weigh in and share reflections and help prioritize ideas for action, including short and long-term solutions to address food insecurity and related issues such as housing, child care, health care, and transportation.

Please join us for the largest fundraiser for Goodwill Food Rescue on November 3 at the Hagerty Center.  Food rescued goes to most of the members of the Northwest Food Coalition.  Many members are solely dependent on this rescued food to feed their clients.
