偏远农村食物银行（RRFB）模块提供了一个框架，用于交换偏远农村社区特有的宝贵信息。这些模块为那些寻求在不存在服务的情况下开发服务的人提供了一个起点，也为想要晋升特定领域的经验丰富的领导人提供了更新的资料。除了我们的社区被孤立之外，领导人也可以是孤立的。通过其他远程社区中的这些对话与同事建立的关系对于增长和生存能力至关重要。

Any leader who does this work knows it is multifaceted and the information is constantly changing. Creating a network of leaders savvy to such complexities will strengthen the community. The nine modules are focused on different areas of food bank operations and include unique remote rural challenges, best practices, and useful contacts and resources. The modules were completed in July 2016, following a year of collaborative effort by four California food bank directors.
