January 22, 2021: The Food Council has launched a short, 8-question COVID-19 Community Food Access survey to collect input from residents that will guide the County’s food distribution plans in 2021. Residents’ feedback on how the County can best serve our communities and improve food access during and after the COVID-19 pandemic is essential to informing program implementation, policy development, and future funding priorities.
The deadline for survey responses has been EXTENDED to Wednesday, March 24th, 2021. The survey is available in English, Spanish, French, Amharic and Chinese.
