Upper Valley MEND Event Calendar
Symposium: Tackling Food Insecurity in the Region
Join us as local experts and community members—including MEND’s Human Services Director Bob Mark—address growing food insecurity in the region amid government cuts to programs that combat hunger and a continuing increase in grocery prices for residents.
We will take a deeper look at how food is distributed and by whom in the two counties, the increase in emergency food requests, community assets to build upon, and additional ways the region can build greater capacity and resilience. The event has been designed as a learning experience that leads to targeted actions.
The cost to attend the symposium is $10, which includes a healthy lunch prepared with locally grown foods. Spanish interpretation is available upon request during registration. Space is limited.

Building Your Legacy: Will & Estate Planning
Estate planning laws have changed with the passage of the new tax and spending act, making now a good time to assess or create a plan. Without a will, the disbursement of your property and the care of your dependents are determined by state law.
Join us to learn the basics of creating or updating a will from local attorneys Evan McCauley of Jeffers, Danielson, Sonn & Aylward and Caitlyn Evans of Evans Law, PLLC. Beth Stipe, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of North Central Washington will also discuss ways to use your estate plan to leave a charitable legacy for future generations.
This event is co-hosted by the Community Foundation of NCW, Upper Valley MEND, and the Wenatchee River Institute.
