December 3rd from 4:00-5:00 at the Bandon Barn
We mentioned in an earlier update that we, along with partners in Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties have been successfully awarded a $375,000 grant to work towards strengthening our foods systems. Attached to this email is a press release from RDI with more details on that grant. We are looking forward to continue working in this fantastic collaboration across all three counties to proactively strengthen an important part of our economy.
We are also still working with a great group of people from the community to put together a competitive application for the America’s Best Communities Grant. That application is due in January, and we will keep you updated on how that goes.
Jameson Jackson, our RARE intern, held a Community Food Conversation this week at the SCDC office in Coos Bay. He will be hosting another conversation in Bandon on December 3rd from 4:00-5:00 at the Bandon Barn. There will be additional dates and locations in Curry County in the future, and we will be sure to announce those dates as soon as they are scheduled. The one held this week was well attended and gave Jameson and opportunity to share some of the research that he and previous interns had completed and to share what’s been learned included obstacles and opportunities. Jameson is doing a great job, and we are excited to see the progress of this project.
