Dear Blog,
Today we went through powerpoint slides about how to conduct a community needs assessment and food insecurity.
The community needs assessment reminded me of the steps for any other assessment I've learned about so it was familiar and a little more interesting. The second part of class we talked about food insecurity. Dr. Holben referenced Erin Brockovich and we watched a clip from the movie where it showed her cupboards were bare and how she dealt with feeding her kids while on a very tight budget. Then we watched another video about a food line in Marietta where people were in line waiting to pick up free food for their families. I felt the urge to want to help these people so this makes me think I could end up working in a community nutrition setting someday.

It's definetely an important setting to work in. It is hard to see families go through struggles, but that's nice that you could possibly see yourself helping out.
