Yes, this topic relates directly to my new job at Green's Market. I know that Ann (our owner) met last week with Lynis Chaffey (our neighbor Richard) at Interfaith Ministries to discuss ways to get healthy food to low-income neighborhoods in the area. There is work already happening, we just need to join the discussion and participate. Also, the Great Valley Center had an amazing speaker from the Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Program (CCROPP) at their Valley Up conference last spring. Her name is Genoveva Islas Hooker and she explained the topic in detail and discussed the issue of poor access to food. We may consider inviting her back. I think this is a great topic for Stan Solutions and we actually have an opportunity to make a real impact in our community!
