Community Conversations are a way to
· Share experiences, concerns, hopes, needs, and priorities.

· Discuss the challenges and opportunities of the present.

· Envision the future residents want for their community.

Community Conversations are sponsored by the Grant County Food Policy Council and The Volunteer Center to bring Grant County residents together to share thoughts and ideas and to listen to others, to strengthen community networks, and to help county and municipal officials understand what people in the communities need and want.

The Grant County Food Policy Council is an advisory body to the Grant County Board of Commissioners. The Council's mission is to improve the availability and access to safe and nutritious food, local and sustainable when possible, at fair prices to improve the health and well-being of all residents in Grant County, particularly those in need. The Council also advises the County Commissioners on how to maintain and improve the natural resources, land base, infrastructure and skill sets that are necessary to produce local food to realize their vision for a vibrant, sustainable food and agricultural system.
