Who is this for:
This is an invitation for folx working with, expecting to expand, interested in creating, or have other opportunities to work with Veggie Rx in Oregon.
How will we spend our time together:
The purpose of this gathering is to discuss what we want the OCFSN Veggie Rx Working Group to look like in the future, sharing program goals and barriers, creating a cohesive evaluation strategy and metrics, sharing new connections and working towards growing together. We will be discussing the 2021 Veggie Rx Working Group Strategic Plan, how to move forward as a group (ex: GusNIP Application 2024, OHA SPAN Grant), and collaboratively learn from each other. We believe that OCFSN working group members will be able to utilize strengths from each other! Full agenda to come in late July.
