Objective #3 (Non-Emergency Needs)
1.  Food as Medicine
2.  Other Non-Emergency Food Needs / Karen
All / Discussion of LIVE 54218 and are they going to get a grant for salary from GBCF (April) and will they change direction and no longer support EBT program.
1.  Dane and Eau Claire counties have received grants for Food Prescription Programs. Targets food insecure people identified by questionnaire. (Food Insecurity hand out from Karen)
Program tries to ensure that people are using all programs that are available to them. Reviewed EC Strategic Plan short and long term goals.
On March 10th the EC group will be having a seminar to discuss their program. Do we want to be involved in this type of planning? Can we implement portions of their program into what we are doing? We could not take their entire strategic plan and put it into our work fully right now. John believes that this work would be done by a different group of people, but we could get the work started and then try to pair up with the new MCW group in our area.
We need to meet with Dane and EC to find out how they got started and how they got the people involved prior to hiring a community organizer.
Can we get a MCW member at CHIP or Beyond Health in the near future?
Can we screen for health deficiencies at the food pantry? / Update monthly
Karen will go to meeting and try to find out some info on how this got going.
Karen will update in March.
Objective #2 (Food Pantry Infrastructure Plan)
1.  Next Steps – UWGB Student Research / Karen / All / Reviewed data from Scouting for Food and Letter Carriers Drive from 2013 for baseline- 1676 items donated.
2015, 788 items sampled. Mixed foods and Grains both went up significantly; low nutrient food went down slightly.
Next step to look at salt and sugar content in items.
Some expired items may be distributed up to two years after expiration.
