Food to Health: Innovators and Entrepreneurs | Capitol Hill Luncheon
Food Tank and the Tufts University Food is Medicine Institute are excited to host a special luncheon on Capitol Hill in celebration of the innovators, entrepreneurs, and organizations finding new ways to connect food and health!
Hosted by U.S. Representative Jim McGovern (MA-02), this gathering will bring together additional Members of Congress and leaders from food, health care, business, and government to explore how new ideas, partnerships, and policies can make nutritious food more accessible and improve health across the country. We'll hear from leaders at Mom's Meals, Instacart, The Common Market, The Rockefeller Foundation, Community Servings, John Hancock, and the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation, among many others.
Join us for lunch, lively conversations, and a chance to connect with people working to make food a bigger part of how we think about health.
