“We saw a shared agenda of broad coordination with food needs,” said Judy Schultz, Community Action Partnership of Mid Nebraska. “Partners shared information about food insecurity, education, and resources… now connecting the dots is what is going to be an important next step.”
Nadia Sadia, Community Partners Board Chair said, “The introduction of information is step one in this bigger picture process. We wanted an awareness of what partners are working on pertaining to food security.”
“We want to continue sharing these resources and information in the community. We keep asking ourselves (as the board) who else needs to know about these food service opportunities in our community,” said Tammy Jackson, Communitiy Partners Board member.
The board listened to what partners are currently doing in the community and are continuing to host conversations about what resources our community is offering and how we keep getting those resources to the people in need.
