Tune in this Sunday at 9 p.m. on WJR Radio! Phil will be joined by Gerry Brisson, President & CEO of Gleaners Community Food Bank (Gleaners Community Food Bank), and Patty Graham, Plan President & CEO of Meridian of Michigan (Meridian of Michigan).

Recently, Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. and the Centene Foundation (Centene) announced a $1 million grant to the Food Bank Council of Michigan (FBCM) to help fight hunger and improve health across Prosperity Region 8 — including Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties.

Together, they’ll explore bold new strategies that combine:

Food access

Health equity

Rural innovation

Food as Medicine

...in ways we haven’t seen before. Don’t miss this powerful conversation about transforming systems and reaching communities more effectively.

The conversation continues this fall at the Michigan Food as Medicine Summit, where partners and leaders from across the state will come together to build on this momentum. http://bit.ly/4f3rFeN
