Food Summit

Join us for an event co-hosted by the Cornell Hunger Relief Program (CHRP) and Big Red Buddies (BRB), exploring the intersection of education and food insecurity in underserved communities. The event features a keynote by Dr. Angela Odoms-Young, whose research focuses on health equity, food justice, and community resilience. Attendees will also learn about the role of Tompkins Community Action and Head Start in supporting local families, and participate in assembling mini-meal kits for Head Start students to use during spring break.
