On Saturday, March 4, The Morris Farm and Chewonki will co-convene the third annual Food Security Forum here on the Chewonki campus. We hope that you will consider joining in on a day of rich dialogue about food waste and recovery in Maine.
The forum started as a small local forum in 2015 but has since grown to encompass issues that transcend county lines. Broad topics such as SNAP education, senior and childhood hunger, nutrition education efforts and non-profit resource development are only but a few discussed during the forum. This year the forum's theme will revolve around the EPA's Food Recovery Hierarchy and how it relates to food security.
Our keynote speaker is Hannah Semler, Healthy Acadia's Gleaning Coordinator for Hancock County and a collaborator for "Feeding the 5000" in Portland, Maine.
Registration includes lunch and snacks. Scholarships available.
