It is my incredible privilege to share that FoodWhat has been selected by the Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust as the   2017 organizational recipient of the Phil Rather Leadership Award!   This award, conferred annually, recognizes one individual and one organization that exercises exemplary leadership in promoting health and quality of life for residents of the Pajaro Valley - especially to those who are most marginalized – and who uphold the legacy of Phil Rather's incredible service and heart in serving the local Pajaro community. In receiving this award at the Health Trust on Wednesday night, FoodWhat was honored for our dedication and innovative approach in providing Pajaro Valley youth with opportunities to lead food systems transformation that fosters an environment in which all individuals have a relationship with, and access to, healthy food, and for FoodWhat's impact on the youth we serve through their significant and lasting diet change and overall health transformation.
