Food Security Summit 2025
We look forward to seeing you at this year’s Food Summit, Beyond the Plate: Food Security and Economic Stability through Strategic Partnerships. This year’s theme reflects a powerful message — that addressing food insecurity requires more than just providing meals — it requires collaboration across sectors to create lasting, systemic change.
By fostering strong partnerships between nonprofits and the for-profit sector, we have the opportunity to not only meet immediate needs but also build a stronger, more resilient community. Let’s work together to bridge gaps, share resources, and develop innovative solutions that go beyond the plate.
