To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The Department of Health Services is pleased to provide you with the annual report of plans and progress in addressing food insecurity, as required under s.
46.76 (4) and
(5).
The following are highlights from the report:
•The Wisconsin Food Security Consortium (WFSC) remained active during 2009:
•Early in the year, the Consortium elected to visit other areas of the state to study local issues which have an impact on food security rather than having all quarterly meetings in Madison. The steering committee visited the Minocqua/Rhinelander area in June and Milwaukee in November.
