Inter Faith Food Shuttle Community Health Education
 
 
 
Wake County Cooperative Extension (WCCE) is hosting a Food Security VISTA Program in collaboration with four partner sub-sites. VISTA Members will perform one-year assignments to improve food security in Wake County and build the capacity of their assigned site(s). Inter Faith Food Shuttle will be hosting a Community Health Education position. The Community Health Education VISTA will support the Inter Faith Food Shuttle’s efforts to build stronger community networks and partners, increase overall reach into marginalized and traditionally excluded groups of people and develop outreach materials and resources to be accessible to a wider range of people. The purpose of the Community Health Education program is to support community-led initiatives to increase knowledge around health and wellness through a stigma-free and inclusive lens. The Inter Faith Shuttle does this by offering tailored and unique educational programming (both in English and Spanish) based on the wants and needs of the communities they serve. The VISTA will also assist to evaluate the successes of this model which will enable the Food Shuttle to continue conversations with funders about the benefits of community health education to build up enough revenue and work to add full time staff members.
