Connections Matter Training – Free Virtual Opportunity
Join us for a two-day Connections Matter virtual training, provided at no cost by Wellroot. This engaging series will be held July 23 and 24 from 12:00–1:30 PM each day. The training is designed to help those managing food pantries better understand the impact of trauma, the importance of relationships, and how building connections can strengthen resilience within the communities you serve.
