Below are other PSE: Policy, Systems and Environmental initiatives UW-Extension FoodWIse has taken on to create healthier communities in Racine and Kenosha counties!

• Racine County Food Resource Guide (now replaced by a virtual “Food Emergency Access” resource) created through FoodWIse nutrition educator Amy Macemon’s work with Greening Greater Racine’s Food Council
• Increasing Access to Fresh Food In Racine County
• Increased outreach to area pantries by FoodWIse nutrition educator Jill Frideres
• Healthy breakfast items, including eggs, fresh fruit and bagels, were provided instead of sugary or high-fat options, at the annual Money Conference in Racine due to the work of FoodWIse nutrition educator Cindi Armstrong
• Food Pantry Survey conducted by Mount Mary dietetics students of 120 food pantry clients to determine their needs and obstacles to utilizing food pantries in Racine County. See report here: FINAL Report Food and Access Survey Racine
