Beginning in January 2017, a group of partner agency leaders
joined forces with Good Shepherd Food Bank to form the Network Advisory
Council. This group meets quarterly to provide support and feedback to GSFB on
topics that may include product purchasing, outreach activities,
recommendations for best practices, training and education opportunities, and
innovative strategies for strengthening the charitable food network.
This group was chosen based on partner agency expressed interest and also on providing a balanced representation of the partner network, based on type of program, size of agency, region, and active participation with GSFB.
