特别倡议
我们开展了一些特殊举措,为特定人群和为他们服务的食品银行提供有针对性的支持。
这些是我们正在积极努力的举措。以前,我们从事诸如营养教育和老年人获取食物的计划。
We help our members become more effective and stay up-to-date by facilitating the sharing of promising practices among food banks through regional meetings, webinars, peer-to-peer discussion groups, newsletters, templates, toolkits, and conferences. Topics include food public policy, community outreach, communication, and fundraising.

We have undertaken a special initiative, working in partnership with food banks based in agricultural regions to create better access to food resources for our farm workers. As we work to better understand the needs of this community we are also working closely with other organizations who advocate on behalf of farmworkers and immigrant communities.

我们正在帮助成员评估其灾难恢复计划,并与他们的地方官员和其他非营利组织合作,制定基于县的灾难食品分配计划。
