Community Chat: The Impact of COVID-19 on Food Insecurity- A Mutual Aid Model

While there are public interventions, such as Pandemic EBT, during COVID-19, these community leaders and organizations still recognize a need for food security. Through community intervention, they are able to ensure children and families have their basic needs met, such as food and shelter. Learn more as they discuss the impact of housing on food insecurity, food deserts, and COVID-19s impact on food insecurity. They will also present possible solutions they are working on as a community to improve conditions and propose action steps that would like to see taken in the future. Join on Zoom or Facebook.
