The 2nd Annual Fall Food Gathering is happening on Thursday, September 20th, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Harmony Centre in Owen Sound, 890 4th Ave. East.

This year's event combines the work of the United Way's Food Bank Summit with the broader based mandate of the Fall Food Gathering.

The collaborative effort brings together food system players to connect, collaborate, share and learn about current needs and opportunities to improve food security for all in Grey Bruce.

The morning session will include keynote presentations by Alison Govier, Co-ordinator of Community Drug and Alcohol Strategy, on "Mental Health and Addictions in Grey Bruce" as well as David Roy, Program Director of Addiction Services for H.O.P.E. Grey Bruce, speaking on "Where to Find Food Services in Grey Bruce". The day will also include updates from the Food Security Action Group, discussion sessions, a presentation by the Bruce Botanical Food Gardens as well as a tour of the Fresh Roots Community Gardens.

Lunch will be provided by Fresh Roots!

Please join us for a day of vibrant discussion, inspiring presentations and good food!
