Dear Friends of CMFPC,
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Food Policy Council has had a busy and exciting year! We have expanded our board, engaged in strategic planning, and are looking ahead to how we can make the greatest impact on Charlotte-Mecklenburg's food system in 2015.
We could not do what we do without the support of our executive board, our Experts' Panel, and our passionate and committed members. We appreciate all of you who give your time, your expertise, and, of course, your dollars, to help build a healthier, more equitable and sustainable food system for all of Charlotte.
Please spread the word about the work we are doing here at the CMFPC and encourage others to join us in this important fight for good, affordable, healthy food for all.
Best,
Erin Brighton, Director
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Food Policy Council
