🌟 We were thrilled to host nearly 95 CalFresh outreach workers from across California at our annual CalFresh Outreach Peer-to-Peer Meeting! 🌟 This event was an amazing opportunity for outreach workers to connect with peers, share promising practices, and tackle challenges together. 🤝 Our agenda focused on building strong connections and fostering a supportive community, with small group discussions that encouraged collaboration and problem-solving. 🗣️💡 We also had an important session dedicated to understanding CalFresh eligibility rules for immigrant communities, ensuring that everyone can access the support they need. 🌍 #CalFresh #CommunitySupport #PeerToPeer #EndHunger

So grateful to be part of this amazing partnership!
We've *finally* launched the next phase of #FarmsTogether along with our partners at Fresh Approach and the California Association of Food Banks; recall this program helps pay farmers fair market prices and puts fresh, local and culturally-appropriate produce on the tables of hungry families. At an inspiring gathering this morning, leaders from state agencies, farmers, community aggregators, and food banks all gathered to share an alternate vision for how we invest in local food systems to end hunger (and uplift sovereignty), from farmers to families. Farmers are learning from food banks about what they need (e.g. different crop preferences like cilantro or multiple distribution days per week) and food banks are learning from farmers (e.g. operating in boxes or pallets instead of truck loads) and we're creating real economic opportunity in the process. As Secretary Karen Ross noted, we're doing the real work of building community! Huge thanks to Redwood Empire Food Bank for hosting today and to all my colleagues at Community Alliance with Family Farmers who are helping operationalize millions of dollars of federal investment in the Golden State. #LocalFoodPurchasingAssistance #LFPA #PeopleOverPounds #EatLocalFoodsAct National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition
