Last October, UCI and Orange County United Way co-hosted the first OC Working Together summit.  More than 200 participants gathered for the daylong summit, including UCI faculty and graduate students, chief executives from Orange County’s leading nonprofits, and city and county officials.

We invite you to continue the work started at OC Working Together through participation in a follow-up event focused on the theme of Healthy Eating and Raising Healthy Families to bring together UCI faculty, OC-based food industry representatives and community leaders, and research project funding experts from this pivotal area.  This session will present an opportunity to collaborate about our county’s state of food insecurity and food quality, and learn about innovative initiatives that can be a win-win for all partners.  Nearly 350,000 Orange County residents are food insecure; without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable and nutritious food.  Furthermore, improving access to high quality, nutritious food is a critical cornerstone of building a healthy community.  Come work with community, industry, and academic leaders to learn about current initiatives and frameworks, and to consider joining an exciting research collaborative.  Join in the conversation and partner with us to create solutions!
