We’re planting the seeds of collaboration for our second Strengthening Cities Summit, hosted by Rite Aid Healthy Futures. Join us at the Cleveland Foundation for two days of networking, learning and growing between the established cohort of Strengthening Cities organizations.
This exciting event will convene leading voices and advocates of food sovereignty and food access from six cities: Baltimore, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Fresno and Philadelphia. Together, we will share strategies, innovations and ideas to accelerate change and combat hunger.
For our out-of-town guests, travel and lodging costs for up to two representatives per invited organization. The Tru by Hilton Cleveland Midtown will be the preferred lodging site for all out-of-town guests.
