Athens Wellbeing Project

Grab a copy of this week’s to see how our latest data help us understand the level of need our neighbors face in the current food crisis.

Project manager Rebecca Baskam is in DC this week for the conference! She’s talking about the most pressing topic our community (and all communities across the country) are facing right now— food security. This work will become an important part of her dissertation, which will help other communities understand how to collect their own data that measures hunger to inform policy, practice, and public health response.

The juxtaposition of this city’s beauty to our level of need experienced by so many families is stark.

Today, we ask you to educate yourself on how many are going hungry and how to help your neighbors who won’t have enough food for dinner tonight.

Please see our last post for a press release on the state of food insecurity in Athens today.

Please share our account and ask your friends to follow. AWP will be providing as much info as possible in the coming days and weeks from our newest survey data.

The Athens Wellbeing Project team is proud to announce that findings from our fourth round of data collection, AWP 4.0, will be available on our website starting Wednesday, October 1.

These data provide critical insights into the wellbeing of Athens Households and serve as a valuable resource, that is publicly available, to improve service delivery and inform policy on some of our community’s most pressing challenges.
