Saline County Food Action Community Team
The Saline County Food Action Community Team (FACT) is reminding residents that two community listening sessions will take place Wednesday, August 20 as part of the effort to create Saline County’s first comprehensive food system assessment.
The sessions are open to all community members and will help shape the future of food access, food security, and local food systems in the county.
Listening Session Details – Choose One
- Afternoon Session: 1:30 p.m. at the Salina Public Library’s Prescott Meeting Room, 301 W. Elm
- Evening Session: 6:30 p.m. at Church of the Cross, 1600 Rush Street
Light refreshments will be provided, and all are welcome to attend. No registration is required.
“This is your chance to make your voice heard about food in Saline County,” said Michelle Coats, Chair of FACT. “Whether you’ve struggled with food access, use a food pantry, grow your own food, or just care about healthy food in our community, we want to hear from you.”
These sessions are the final step in building the Saline County Food Assessment, following a county-wide survey and a series of stakeholder interviews. Insights gathered will be included in the final report later this year.
This project is made possible through the generous support of the Salina Regional Health Foundation and the Kansas Health Foundation.
The Saline County Food Action Community Team (FACT) is a coalition of local organizations, businesses, and community members dedicated to improving food access and security in Saline County.
