Food security has been a prominent topic in the news lately. Whether it’s rising grocery prices, upcoming eligibility changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or alarming hunger statistics—there’s a lot of information to sort through.

On September 30, 6:30-7:45 pm, join our panel of experts at the Middleton Public Library to learn what’s behind this rise in food insecurity, how the food system works and how that system has changed, and how our community can work together to ensure everyone has access to enough nutritious food to thrive.

Jocelyne Sansing, Director of the Middleton Public Library, will facilitate a panel of guests, including:
🔸 Jackie Thurnau-Anderson, Executive Director, Feeding Wisconsin
🔸 Meghan Sohns, Vice President of Programming, WayForward Resources
🔸 Jennifer Wagner, Director of Medicaid Eligibility and Enrollment, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
🔸 Nicholas Heckman, Food Systems & Food Security Coordinator, Public Health Madison & Dane County
