All are welcome to participate, we are aiming to get a mix of people from the university, community, New Brunswick schools, government and more to share thoughts and build relationships along the way.Download the flyer for more information about the Philadelphia event. Information about the NYC event coming soon. To register for the event (please register by JULY 6) email Matt Sarsycki at matt.sarsycki@yahoo.com or visit the New Brunswick Food Alliance registration page.
