Resource	Assignment
Food Stamp Program Overview to School Nurses- Power point presentation Food Stamp Program Overview Food Access - Power point presentation Los Angeles County Be Active Resource Directory (Nutrition Resources - Community Gardens, Farmers' Markets, Food Security Organization - County of Los Angeles DPSS Food Stamp Offices - Non-traditional Outreach Sites in the Community for food stamp application assistance - Community Based Organizations/Faith Based Organizations - Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) offices - Food Banks - Summer Lunch Programs - Food Security Organizations)	Zoe will consolidate these 2 presentations into 1 and select the slides that would be useful for our FACT presentation to WIC.  Also the Be Active Guide is similar to the Fresh Food Access Guide so we'll need to determine which resource to promote, and where the overlap exists.

LA County Helps	Cynthia - will provide insight into how to utilize this tool, and how to promote it
	Jack will setup and describe the ERWMT display, and additional resources.
