Thanks to Club Parkinson's for hosting a successful April meeting. 16 community partners learned about living with Parkinson's, a movement disorder. It is the fastest growing brain disease and movement helps! In addition to 30 exercise classes per week, they also offer a mental health program, an educational series, social activities, research and baseline testing!

To celebrate the coalition wants to give shout-outs to our partners at ICT Food Rescue for their food recovery program and Kansas Food Bank for their retail store pick up program.

Sharing from Hunger Free Kansas: Caring for our planet and caring for our neighbors are deeply connected. Reducing food waste, building more efficient and sustainable food systems, and ensuring that excess food reaches Kansans who need it most—this is how we honor both.
