Town Hall Meeting About Hunger Set For June 14

“Neighbors Feeding Neighbors,” the official name of the newly formed Hunger Task Force that the Enumclaw Regional Healthcare Foundation has adopted, will have a Town Hall meeting June 14.

The effort is a way to streamline hunger efforts and combine resources in the community, a news release says. The meeting will be at Hope Lutheran Church from 6 to 8 p.m.

The purpose of the meeting is to provide the steering committee with some ideas and possibly some resources that can define the direction the task force should move. In February 2011, Jackie Madill of Franciscan Foundation, Britt Nelson of Plateau Outreach Ministries, and Jobyna Nickum of Enumclaw Sr. Center called a town hall meeting with hunger issues as the focus. More than 60 people attended. (Read of that meeting)

Since then a steering committee was formed along with two sub-committees. One sub-committee is for senior issues and the other for non-seniors, which encompasses children, family and homeless populations. The overall goal is to create programs to feed the hungry by combining resources and efforts of existing programs and to create new ones so that more groups can be reached.
