WEBINAR: Healthier Corner Stores: Finding the Funding
October 27, 2011 10:00 Pacific/1:00 Eastern
Sponsored by Public Health Law & Policy and the Community Food
Security Coalition

Advocates can tap into a range of programs through federal, state, and
local agencies to help fund a range of healthy food retail projects,
from improving the products sold at corner stores to attracting new
grocery stores, farmers markets, and mobile food carts. In this
webinar, you’ll learn how to identify and leverage financing
mechanisms to create healthier food retail options in your community,
and hear from people who have experience designing, implementing and
funding successful projects. Cosponsored by the Community Food
Security Coalition and the Healthy Corner Stores Network.

Are you working to bring fresh produce or other healthy foods into
small-scale stores in your community, or interested in doing this
work? Come meet with members of the Healthy Corner Stores Network
(HCSN) and learn about corner store initiatives around the country
and what’s working on the ground. We’ll get brief updates on various
efforts and discuss issues of common interest.

You can let us know who is coming to the Networking meeting on HCSN's
