Local food brings lots of benefits...but sometimes it only reaches those in the know, or those with the dough. How can we make our community food projects more accessible to everyone? Whether it's about making people feel welcome in your food community, or making sure that folks on lower incomes can afford to be part of your food projects, there are plenty of ways to open our doors to new neighbors. Join us for a interactive discussion--we want to hear your ideas, challenges, and triumphs.
