Member Duties : The VISTA member will play a vital role in advancing food security efforts as part of our Economic Stability Collaborative. The VISTA will lead the coordination and development of the Food Task Force, a community-driven group focused on increasing access to healthy food, reducing hunger, and building sustainable food systems in Bastrop County. This project is the result of a collaborative community planning effort facilitated through the Economic Stability Collaborative and informed by community needs assessments, local data, and resident feedback. The need for a more coordinated and equitable food access system emerged as a top priority during these discussions. The VISTA member will help turn these shared goals into actionable strategies that are both community-informed and system-oriented. This role offers the VISTA member the opportunity to contribute to long-term change while building strong relationships with local leaders, organizations, and families across the county.
