This initiative will mobilize food markets at locations across the Wellstar service area. A mobile market program provides healthy food options in communities that did not formerly have access to fresh produce and other nutritious food choices. In the 2019 CHNA reports, all communities within Wellstar’s service area had areas of food insecurity with low access to grocery stores and healthy food options. The mobile market program will address the populations that have been identified most in need of food resources.
The Wellstar Center for Health Equity is accepting applications for Mobile Market sites that can serve as a monthly location over the five-month program. This initiative will mobilize food markets at locations across the Wellstar service area from February - June 2022. Each location will serve at least 100 households per month through a client choice, family friendly, culturally appropriate market. The program goal is to increase food access and provide nutrition education to those in the community who are most in need.
To learn more about Mobile Market and how your organization can apply to be a market location, please visit our blog post with the request for proposal PDF available to download. This document will provide more information regarding eligibility, important dates and next steps. The application portal will open Friday, October 15 and will close Thursday, November 4.

The Senior Citizen Council of Cobb County celebrated National Senior Citizen Day by selecting six outstanding Cobb senior citizens to receive Life Achievement Proclamations from Cobb County. These distinguished individuals were presented with proclamations read by their Commissioners in a ceremony at the Cobb County Board of Commissioners meeting in September.
All of the honorees have a lifetime of professional accomplishment and years of devotion to the betterment of Cobb County. With the background of the current health crisis in mind, this year’s honorees were all chosen for the significant contributions they have made in the field of services that impact the physical and mental health of the community.

Vaccine Mandates: Options and Requirements for Nonprofits - If your organization currently has, or is considering, a requirement for vaccinations or regular testing among its workforce, listen to our latest episode of the PBPA Podcast. Guests Chris Caiaccio and Katie Barton of Kilpatrick Townsend share how to communicate with employees about vaccination requirements, how to address requests for exemptions, and practical tips around testing as an alternative to requiring a vaccine. Guests also talk about the recent Executive Order (EO) announcing that employers with 100 or more employees must ensure their employees are vaccinated or undergo weekly testing. The EO also requires that employees of federal contractors be vaccinated, subject only to medical and religious exemptions. Read this article by Hogan Lovells for more information on the requirement for federal contractors and this article from Venable on whether federal grant recipients will be included.

To mark the second anniversary of our collective work, Resilient Georgia is hosting Olympian Kenny Selmon, a decorated American track and field champion, and Chrishaunda Lee Perez, storyteller, for a virtual celebration Oct. 28, 2021 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
After injury halted Selmon's dreams in 2019, and the Covid-19 pandemic delayed them even further in 2020, Selmon remained focused on his goal to qualify for the 2020 Olympics Games (2021). In June, after three grueling rounds and a personal best in the final, he qualified for the 2021 U.S. Olympic team in the 400m hurdles. The former UNC track star traveled to the Tokyo Olympics last month. Kenny Selmon’s inspiring story resonates because he overcame tremendous obstacles and adverse experiences during his rise to competing as an Olympic athlete. His story exemplifies the power of resilience and perseverance.
