GoPacks has been a strong, driving force in fighting food insecurity in Washington County. They continue to build and strengthen relationships with families and provide them with resources and support networks. Through many successful collaborations within the county, they were able to offer new areas of resources, including CPR training, children's art and most notably classes to address poverty issues through a partnership with the Washington County Health Department. Now part of the department's CHIP (Community Health Improvement Plan), GoPacks is able to have a greater reach to families in need. Congratulations, GoPacks for making a difference in your community!

We are thankful for the new connections we made, existing relationships we nurtured, and deep learnings we gained at the Appalachian Funders Network Conference last week in Athens.
Hope this was a good conference.
