This year’s conference, “Growing Better Together”
Registration: 8:00 - 9:00 AM
Opening Session: 9:00 AM
Conference Ends: 3:30 PM
Hunger is a community issue that requires a community response. It is only through a wider partnership of local people and organizations working together that we can hope to create the types of strong, thriving communities that are resistant to hunger. We are excited to announce a wonderful opportunity for ACFB and our partner agencies to explore new ways to collaborate and learn from each other to strengthen our communities:
Look at what some of are participants from last year's conference has said:
“Learning to think outside of our programs and to start thinking it terms of building communities"
“Gaining a greater appreciation of the role of advocacy and community outreach in ending hunger”
“All topics were relevant, helpful and very thought provoking. Your presenters were tops”
