Symposium tackles community hunger solutions

The Maryland Food Bank will be holding a Hunger Action Symposium: Causing Change, in early September. The event will focus on challenges and causes of food insecurity and present workshops discussing practical tactics and solutions to end hunger.

Morning speakers will include Claire Babineaux-Fontenot – the CEO of Feeding America, and author of Reinventing Food Banks and Pantries: New Tools to End Hunger, Katie Martin. Lunch lecturers will include Jen Dardis – Treasurer, T. Rowe Price CFO and Maryland Food Bank Board Chair, and Adrienne Jones – Maryland House of Delegates Speaker.

Morning sessions will include three topics: understanding neighbors, strategic planning, and providing resources. The three topics to be covered in the early afternoon sessions will be neighbor feedback, strong and sustainable organization future, and collective impact. Topics to be covered in the late afternoon sessions will be promoting health foods, fundraising, and neighbor involvement in external outreaching.

Although there will be no admission fee, registration is advised as seating will be limited.

Sometimes avid supporters for causes and events like this get some flyer printing done beforehand and put Flyers up in their communities, workplaces, and clubs.

The Hunger Action Symposium will be at the BWI Airport Marriott, 1743 W Nursery Road, Linthicum Heights from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, Wednesday, September 7th. This is the 10-story Marriott located across from the FastPark.
