Food Summit 2018 to address food access

The Whitman County Food Coalition and Palouse-Clearwater Food Coalition will co-host the 2018 Food Summit, Saturday, Jan. 27, at the Gladish Community Center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The summit will focus on food access on the Palouse; whether that be individuals growing their own, food pantries or food access in rural towns.

The summit will also launch the Palouse Tables Project.

There is high food insecurity in Whitman County as a whole, according to Ryan Lazo with the Center for Civic Engagement. The summit aims to address that issue and find solutions for correcting it.
