In the summer of 2021, the Crawford County Community Coalition took part in a strategic plan which resulted in the formation of a new sub-committee focused on Food Security. It was determined that since Eat Well was the county’s official Food Policy Council, our members would make up those belonging to the new sub-committee.
This group formed the first every county specific Food Resource Guide (FOUND BELOW) which was shared among coalition agencies and on social media as well as having 3,000 hard copies delivered to agencies serving food insecure households and individuals.
