The 13th annual Montgomery County Food Summit is taking place on Thursday, Nov. 16, from 8 a.m. to noon at Sinclair. This free event is about highlighting local resources to fight food insecurity and coming together to find more ways to make a difference. The Summit also recognizes community members and organizations who have positively impacted our local food system.
