FRESHFARM, in partnership with Share Our Strength, developed this toolkit to inform organizations on to how implement family councils in their own areas. The creation of this toolkit was informed by a 9-month community-driven Early Childhood Family Council (ECFC), in Washington DC Wards 7 and to 8, to identify community needs and strategies to increase food insecurity and community well-being.
This toolkit was developed by Martine Hippolyte, FRESHFARM.
We would like to give special thanks to our colleagues and partners for providing feedback and support:
● Tailor Coble, FRESHFARM
● Katie Kerstetter, George Mason University
● Drew Bonner, George Mason University
● Elena Rees, Share Our Strength, Cooking Matters
● Caron Gremont, Share Our Strength, No Kid Hungry
This toolkit would not have been possible without the council members who joined the council and shared their experiences.
