The Community Mapping and Partnership Committee’s responsibilities are twofold; to determine the size and parameters of the community that this project will address, and to take point on the fostering and management of various community partnerships as required by the different work streams as developed by individual committees. This committee came to a decision that, for the purposes of any research or targeted outreach related to improve the nutritional health of “La Salle’s Community,” the borders of that community will be adopted from those defined by the 2009 TRF study in which La Salle University was a partner. In certain circumstances, such as partnerships with schools and churches, this project will operate beyond those borders. Outreach to religious groups in our neighborhood has begun in order to recruit participants for the Easter Food Drive and for the NHNP’s Executive and Research Committee’s focus groups.
