Check out our Smith County Food Security Council October 2022 Newsletter on our Facebook page.

The Smith County Food Security Council and other local organizations participated in the Episcopal Health Foundation Facilitation Training. Participants learned how to utilize liberating structures to facilitate meetings that provide inclusiveness and equity. We also engaged in learning and skill-building activities to lead more effective and efficient meetings.

Our Partners in Health team shared the goal of increasing Food Insecurity screening and connecting patients to food resources in the East Texas community. Attendees learned how the partnership was developed, early results, lessons learned, and plans to extend the program, focusing on how other communities might develop similar programs.
