Bellevue Nourishing Networks is a nonprofit which seeks to gather leaders in the Bellevue community to address issues of hunger. Participants include representatives from social service organizations, teachers, principals. Additionally, it serves as a resource for\u00a0non-profits addressing\u00a0homelessness, youth engagement, and other community members at large. These groups collaborate and strategize methods for serving people who are hungry in our community.<\/p>\n<p>Bellevue College&#8217;s connection with Nourishing Networks marks a new phase in the institution&#8217;s commitment to serving students. As the College tries to provide hungry students with basic needs, reaching out to representatives and resources in the community is a method for expanding its reach.<\/p>\n<p>The Sustainable Foods Group at Bellevue College is a great way to get connected on campus and to help make an impact on campus and in the community.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on how to get involved or if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please contact the Sustainable Foods Coordinator, Osha Morningstar at <a href=\"mailto:osha.morningstar@bellevuecollege.edu\">osha.morningstar@bellevuecollege.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What does it mean for food to be sustainable?
