Executive Director Jose Martinez and Director of Programs Frances Johnson travelled to Oakland today for the Annual Meeting of the California Association of Food Banks (CAFB). CAFB’s role is to provide coordination and support to the 45 food banks across the state, increase the visibility of hunger and its solutions, share food resources and influence public policy. Jose and Frances enjoyed the day of connecting with fellow food bankers and hearing updates on statewide initiatives, including the Farm to Family program which connects the network of food banks with nutritious, local produce.
The Farm to Family program was recently featured in the New York Times Magazine: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/magazine/11banks-t.html?_r=1&emc=eta1
