Speaking In:
Collaboration in the Face of Competition: The Nourish NY Dream Team
Is it better to be collaborative or competitive? Should we be generous or selfish? When several Albany and Troy programs received the Nourish New York (NNY) grant, we decided to create the "NNY Dream Team" and invented a new process to share NY grown food with new networks of food pantries in various settings: urban, rural and in public schools. We enjoy talking about cider donuts, halal chicken, and flavored honey. See how these pantries came together to make those dollars stretch for dozens of pantries in 3 counties.
