Schenectady County Food Council
Our Mission
Through the identification and coordination of collective impact activities, the Schenectady County Food Council will make recommendations for a community-informed food system that is equitable, healthy, and accessible for all Schenectady County residents. It will continue the work of the Schenectady County Healthy & Equitable Food Action Plan and update as needed.
Our Vision
Residents of Schenectady County will have consistent, reliable, and equitable access to a sufficient amount of healthy food for themselves and their families.
Get Involved
Join a Workgroup
We believe the best way to eliminate food insecurity in our community is to bring together people from all different backgrounds, education levels, experiences, etc. We need diverse perspectives and opinions from people who live, work, and serve across Schenectady County.
The workgroup teams will utilize each person’s unique strengths, expertise, and experiences to identify issues within the community as it relates to food insecurity. Together, they will determine which problems to address and brainstorm solutions that will combat the issue in a meaningful way.
Attend Community Events
The Schenectady County Food Council will host monthly events such as panel presentations, documentary screenings, trainings, and workshops, to help educate the community and facilitate discussions around ways to reduce food insecurity.
