During their community health clinical placement at Feed Nova Scotia from September 2016 to March 2017 Sarah Marando and Jessica Corkum established a working partnership to identify strengths and opportunities at Feed Nova Scotia. Through this established relationship and partnering with other agencies, the students identified discrepancies and potential pathways through google map for efficient truck delivery. Thanks to their efforts, Feed Nova Scotia obtained $20,000 by the “100 men who give a damn-Halifax” to sustain the Truck Delivery Program.
