Previous WGN Monthly Meetings
From 2025:
January 2025
This meeting’s discussion centered around Systems Thinking, a chance to pull back and see the big picture of where we fit in the larger food recovery universe. We considered how we are all interconnected, how we define our models and what perspective that gives us to design our programs.
February 2025
This meeting featured Meghan Moore of Hopelink and Rebeca Bonila Myers of Oxbow Farms to talk through strategies for developing and reviving relationships with farmers for the upcoming season.
Presentation slides:
This meeting featured Faith Whaley of Christ the King Food Share and Farm, digging into the timely topic of cultivating distribution partners for the coming season. She discussed her very organized system of how to organize partners into “tiers”, how to choose what partner to distribute how much food to, scheduling, delivery, pick up and more.
