Identifying & Connecting
Providing nutritious meals to your students is important, especially with this new normal, but how can you reach all students? “Knowing Your Community” is important to provide program access to every student. In the first session, we featured how to identify and connect with all the families in your community. Our group of panelists, Graham Melendez (Community Impact Coordinator from Immigrant Welcome Center), Lisa Adams (Community Wellness Coordinator from Purdue Extension Marion County), and Sarah Willson (Nutrition Manager from Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana), share how to identify and connect with all families in your community and walk through how to be part of the solution.
