Visit Come to the Table
It looks like the Duke Divinity School is reviewing applicants for a program that works in conjunction with Come to the Table to facilitate health, wellness and food relief in rural NC. I am noticing that Franklin County could really benefit from such a service. Having programs organized and put into place would really benefit this community.
I am working in pediatric primary care and working on helping to decrease childhood obesity. Franklin is one of the counties we serve. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
