The Commission on Aging’s charge is to provide leadership in addressing the special needs of the aging population and to manage and assist with the implementation of the county’s Aging Readiness Plan.  This month, the Commission focuses on Chapter 2 of the Aging Readiness Plan, “Healthy Communities, Improving Access to Healthy Food” by hosting area experts for a discussion about local gardening and food programs. Join us in welcoming representatives from the Clark County and North Clark County Food Banks, the City of Vancouver, the Eat Well Camas Community Garden, and Fort Vancouver Regional Library.

The meeting will be held 4:30 pm Wednesday, Feb. 19 and is open to the public.
