Nourishing the North Shore is Topic for December Local Poverty Matters

Ellie Davis from the Greater Newburyport YWCA, Pam Palombo, Newburyport Public Health Nurse,  and Nancy Earls from the Newburyport  Learning Enrichment Center will describe their work to ensure equal access to healthy food and nutrition to all in the community.
