Disability Rights Consortium Meeting to Focus on Hunger Issues - Webcast Wed Dec. 5, 2012 st 9:30 to 11:00 AM (cst)

The next Disability Rights Consortium meeting will take place on Wednesday December 5th from 9:30-11:00 at Equip for Equality (20 North Michigan, Suite 300, Chicago, IL). The meeting will focus on the work of the Commission to End Hunger, and how we as a disability community can support the Commission's important efforts. Our speakers will be Dan Lesser from the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law and Dawn Melchiorre from the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

In Illinois, there has been under-utilization of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as food stamps), and one of the goals of the Commission is to identify ways to reach out to various groups, including people with disabilities.

In preparation for the meeting, you may want to review the Commission's recent report.

This meeting will be eligible for 1 hour of Continuing Legal Education Credit.

Captioning will be provided at the meeting.

It would be great for us to work collectively as a community to help people with disabilities have better access to nutrition.
