Join us on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, for a free in-person event hosted by the Bay Area Nutrition and Physical Activity Collaborative (BANPAC) and CalFresh Healthy Living Statewide Training. The Bay Area Promising Practices Summit will be held in Oakland, California and will concentrate on successful initiatives and practical tips for implementing food waste prevention, reduction, and redistribution programs in your community. The Summit will also offer an opportunity to explore methods for guaranteeing that programs and initiatives are accessible, inclusive, and equitable for all members of the community.

Participants will:

• Gain insights from peers who have successfully implemented food waste prevention, reduction, and redistribution strategies in their counties. 
• Connect with other professionals engaged in similar work within the field and participate in active listening and engagement to foster a collaborative and supportive environment.
• Engage in interactive activities with other participants for group discussions and individual reflection to deepen your understanding and develop new skills.

This is an inclusive event open to all who implement a physical activity, nutrition, or food security program, including: 

• Community-based organizations
• Community health leaders
• Funded or non-funded CalFresh Healthy Living partners
• Local health department staff or subcontractors
• Preschool or K-12 administrators
