She said they will be discussing food insecurities, food deserts, and the right to food.
'We have a big issue with food insecurities within Mercer County, and we have a lot of people addressing those issues. I tell people we feed people very well, especially those who are in need of extra support, but we do not really collaborate very well or have a food network as we should. So this gives us an opportunity to come together and talk about what works and what does not work,' said Harless.
This workshop will last from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Mercer County 4-H Camp.
Everyone is welcome and lunch will be provided.
