Hub & Spoke Community Forum on Nov 18th
Hub & Spoke Community Forum on Nov. 18th, 2013: Getting fresh, local food to those in need
On. Nov. 18, 2013 at 7 p.m., Southern Maryland community members are invited to a Hub and Spoke Public Forum in Hughesville, MD.
The Hub and Spoke Task Force is soliciting community feedback on a model to improve fresh farm food access for working poor and low-income communities within Southern Maryland (Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's). The model currently addresses locally grown perishable produce, which could be sourced from farms, community gardens or home gardens. Your input would be invaluable and will help shape possible legislation regarding fresh food access in 2014.
In order to develop the model, the Task Force has been charged with the following:
1. Researching the nutritional needs of various Southern Maryland communities (low-income, working poor and unemployed)
2. Identify infrastructure necessary to meet those needs through fresh food distribution
3. Identify fresh food distribution opportunities for those in need
4. Make recommendations regarding Hub & Spoke operation and management
5. Make recommendations on education and outreach efforts
6. Create a tax incentive for local farmers to donate freshly grown food
The Task Force was created by the Maryland Legislature (SB 586/HB 1019) to Study the Implementation of a Hub and Spoke Program in the Southern Maryland Region, otherwise known as the "Hub and Spoke Task Force." On or before December 1, 2013, the Task Force shall report its research and recommendations to the Maryland General Assembly.
Meeting time and place: Monday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. in the SMECO Auditorium (15035 Burnt Store Rd, Hughesville, MD, 20637)
Please RSVP: call 301-274-1922 ex.1
