Good Food Purchasing for the BPS: Rebekah Williams, Rita Hubbard-Robinson, and Jessica Gilbert on The Public Good

Join us on The Public Good this week! We'll hear from Rebekah Williams, Rita Hubbard-Robinson, and Jessica Gilbert. The three are part of a coalition looking to adopt a Good Food Purchasing Program in the Buffalo Public Schools, the seventh item on this year's Community Agenda. They'll be discussing the work they've done thus far, a resolution they've written in support of a study to examine the benefits of adopting good food in Buffalo, and next steps. 

Rebekah Williams is a community organizer at the Massachusettes Avenue Project. Rita Hubbard-Robinson is CEO of NeuWater & Associates LLC, and Jessica Gilbert is a research associate at Partnership for the Public Good.

And, tune in live on Power 96.5 WNY at 10pm, and on PPG’s Facebook page at 1pm Tuesday, June 25th. You won’t want to miss it!
