We met briefly with our County Team leader via phone call and we were able to agree that the main health priority in which we will focus this Service Learning Project will be Food Insecurity. Another aspect that needs more research is the quality of the food that is available within the County.

Her team found valuable and interesting the joint work that we were doing together.
