Join the Council


The Council recently restructured. Quarterly meetings are held in-person. Working groups have formed and meet more frequently or as-needed, depending on the task.

New members are always welcome! Interested in a Working Group? Contact us for more information: adamsfoodpolicy@gmail.com

Working Groups:

Policy and Advocacy

  • This group always meets virtually.

Food Programs

  • This group supports the logistics, decision making (to some extent), and facilitation of our food access programs (Healthy Options, Double Dollars, Fruit and Veggie Bucks, and Military Share). This group also serves as a convener for those working across the charitable food network to network and swap information/updates.

Ad-hoc working group: Emergency Services Collaboration

  • This is a "temporary" group that is working on a project with emergency services about disaster preparedness. 

  • This group meets a variety of ways and with different combinations of members, depending on needs.
