Wednesday, September 6 in the morning, meet with two members of Senator Tina Smith’s outreach staff at Keystone Community Services (address below). They are reserving space for 3 people from Beth Jacob.
RSVP to Howard Tarkow at howard.tarkow@gmail.com and let him know you are a member of Beth Jacob.
Keystone Community Services, 2000 Saint Anthony Avenue in Saint Paul, near I-94 and Cleveland Avenue. The sign on the building is Keystone Community Services, and there is ample parking.
We will start the site visit by observing two important Keystone anti-hunger programs in operation–its Foodmobile, and its grocery delivery program. Then we will adjourn to a meeting space where representatives of religious and community organizations who are collaborating with MAZON on this effort will describe the important work they do for food insecure individuals and families, and we will ask the staff representatives to brief Senator Smith on MAZON’s and our community’s priorities for strengthening SNAP and other vital programs in the farm bill.
