Coalition Building

Regional Coalitions

MontCo Anti-Hunger Network’s food provider membership is divided into 5 coalition regions. Each coalition convenes regularly for peer-to-peer idea exchange and discussion around operational challenges. Meetings create opportunity to build relationships and look at poverty from a higher, community-level perspective.
​

• Nutrition Coalition (North Penn Area Providers)
• InterCounty Coalition (Pottstown Area Providers)
• Main Line Coalition
• Eastern Coalition (Jenkintown Area Providers)
• Norristown Area Coalition

Core Community Council

The Core Community Council—co-sponsored by the Montgomery County Food Policy Council—is open to all of our member organizations. This initiative provides an opportunity for all 73 network members to use their on-the-ground knowledge to inform county policy and MAHN organizational strategy. At Core Community Council meetings, food security organizations will have the opportunity to provide feedback on funding opportunities and strengthen partnerships with the county, MAHN and one another.

Peer Learning Circles

We believe that knowledge is the path to excellent consumer service and host informational meetings to support continued member learning. These gatherings of food pantry leadership and staff provide:

Opportunity to learn about best practices from peers and experts in the field 

A communal thinking space where service providers
are encouraged to share ideas, discuss challenges, and build relationships

Pathways to meet community partners offering services that enhance food pantry programs
