I have begun my practicum at the Dept of Public Health, working in the Community Health and Wellness division. I am helping the Mass in Motion program develop a tool kit for food pantries in these communities and maybe for all the states’ food pantries, to help these entities better serve their clients, through more access to fresh produce, among other goals. I will continue to write about the progress. Right now, I am learning about the Department and contacting the pantries to assess their needs.

Hi Jeanne -sounds like it will be a very valuable practicum. The Food Banks in MA may also have good insight into the needs of the food pantries, so you might want to contact them as well. I hope you have a great practicum!
