Published 12:20 pm Tuesday, December 22, 2015

The Dec. 8 community forum on hunger held at the Penny Farcy building was many things, including an example of how Vashon nonprofits can collaborate to benefit the entire community. The forum was the product of a King County CSA grant obtained by Voice of Vashon (VoV). The production was created as a collaboration between VoV, the VMI Community Food Bank and the Vashon Community Care Foundation. VoV broadcast the forum live on KVSH 101.9FM, the KVSH phone app and on voiceofvashon.org. VoV also videotaped the forum and will re-broadcast it on VoV TV Comcast Channel 21 and on demand on the VoV website.

Community response to the forum has been overwhelmingly positive, with many people appreciating the convenience of being able to hear it on KVSH. We’re already vetting ideas for future such collaborations, and are excited about hosting more conversations of community importance. Thanks to all our partners and those who participated in the forum. forum. We welcome suggestions for future forums. Please send your ideas to info@voiceofvashon.org.
