Good Food Kalamazoo seeking Organizer/Facilitator

The FIC has been working with our friends at PFC Natural Grocery & Deli, Michigan State University Extension, and Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes to organize a networking effort called "Good Food Kalamazoo".

Good Food Kalamazoo (GFK) is an effort to engage & empower our community to provide itself with healthy, green, fair, and affordable food. While strongly aligning with the Michigan Good Food Charter (MGFC), GFK has historically (2011-2014) offered information and networking opportunities to individuals and organizations that are involved with or interested in good food.

After a short hiatus, a renewed and more focused effort has begun. In 2016, we held two meetings, attended by over 40 organizations; we plan for meetings to continue quarterly in 2017 with clear objectives around shared commitments and collaborative projects. 

We have received a small grant Michigan Local Food Council seed grant from the Center for Regional Food Systems at Michigan State University to support this work!

And, we are seeking an organizer to help move things along. Please check out this Call for Proposals and get in touch if you are interested in working with us!
