Cornerstones: Food Security Forum
Innovation. Partnership. Action.
September is Hunger Action Month—a time when communities across the country come together to raise awareness, inspire action, and work toward ending hunger.
Food insecurity continues to affect thousands of our neighbors as rising food costs, housing instability, and economic uncertainty force families to make impossible choices between food, rent, healthcare, and other basic necessities.
While the need is significant, so is our opportunity to innovate, collaborate, and build stronger systems that ensure everyone has access to nutritious food.
Cornerstones invites you to take action! Join community leaders, nonprofit partners, businesses, and advocates for an engaging conversation about the future of food security in our community.
