Dear Partners
Through this newsletter, the HHS Partnership Center provides quick insight into resources, webinars and potential grant opportunities and awards in your local community. This month the Partnership Center proudly co-hosted the 7th Annual Iftar dinner at the Department of Agriculture along with Islamic Relief USA in reflection of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the month of fasting, prayer, community and worship for Muslims throughout the world. Dr. Karen DeSalvo, Acting Assistant Secretary for Health (HHS) served as one of the keynote speakers of the event highlighting the importance of access to healthcare alongside the emphasis from USDA on access to nutritious food.
To share your efforts related to any of these important issues, please contact the HHS Partnership Center at Partnerships (at) hhs.gov or 202-358-3595.
Sincerely,
Acacia Bamberg Salatti, Acting Director
Center for Faith-based & Neighborhood Partnerships
