Please join community partners, organizations, agencies and volunteers for the regional Hunger and Nutrition Committee which engages the food pantries in Apalachicola (Franklin County Food Pantry, VWJ Community Service Center), Eastpoint (First Baptist Church of Eastpoint), Carrabelle (Carrabelle Food Pantry, First United Methodist Church) and Port St. Joe (CareerSource Gulf Coast, Washington Street Community Resource Center) with nutrition experts (UF/IFAS, FAMU/IFAS, Florida Department of Health), regional food networks (FarmShare, America's Second Harvest Food Bank), and community volunteers to maximize the supplemental food distributed to the region's most vulnerable people. Emphasis has been focused on three objectives: 1) collaboration and sharing resources to eliminate service disparities across the region, 2) providing nutritionally appropriate foods and education programs to plan and prepare meals, and 3) identifying senior citizens and disabled individuals who can not attend food distributions and developing strategies to ensure their needs are addressed.
