Opportunities for Youth Engagement in the Food Assessment Process

Help Tell the Story of Food In Your Community!

The Central Oregon Community Food Assessment is documenting the strengths, needs and opportunities in our local food system. This will inform action to address hunger, support local farms, and improve community health and nutrition.

We need your help to tell the story of the local people who grow, process, sell, and distribute food in our communities.

There are opportunities to interview, write a story or photograph:

· Farmers and Ranchers

· Emergency Food Providers (soup kitchens and food banks)

· Independent Grocery and Restaurant Owners

· Butchers and Processors

· Community and Home Gardeners

If you are interested in getting involved please contact Sydney Leonard at sydneyl@neighborimpact.org (541) 548-2380 ext. 149
