Hi all 
My name’s Diana Zamora and I’m a health program specialist for the California Department of Aging. I’ve enjoyed learning the ins and out of NPP implementation and look forward to recommending it as a PSE option for AAAs.
Hello everybody!
My name is Summer G and I’m with Flagstaff Family Food Center in Flagstaff, AZ.
Although we operate a drive-thru distribution, we are looking for ways to improve upon our programs and make them more trauma-informed and client-centered.

Hello! I’m Audrey Ricks and I’m a program manager with Building Health Inc. in Pittsburg, Kansas. I oversee in-clinic food distributions at a 11 Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas locations. The clinics refer a lot of patients to community food pantries which vary wildly in capacity and methodology throughout the region. I am hoping to work with these pantries through the Nutrition Pantry Program to create a strong network to support my community. I’m excited to connect with other implementers across the country!
Hello! My name is Abbie and I’m located in Buffalo New York. I am Field Nutritionist for the program Just Say Yes to Fruits and Vegetables and we currently implement the Healthy Pantry Initiative (HPI) PSE. While HPI is technically different than NPP, I am looking for ways to incorporate some of the practices from NPP into HPI. For example, the HPI PSE does not have communication plan guidelines, client needs assessments, or a thorough workplan which I believe is needed in order to make the PSE truly successful long-term. I believe incorporating these strategies and skills from NPP are extremely beneficial to my work and will ultimately benefit the communities we serve!
