Pick 42 Foundation operates the Marion County Food Policy Council, whose mission is to coordinate better community outcomes for health and food. The council is committed to strengthening community partnerships and solidifying services that yield healthier communities. They achieve their mission through collaboration, promoting awareness of food and health disparities, connecting resources to address identified needs, and identifying methods to overcome issues. The council meets quarterly and includes over 60 local farmers, several local businesses, and community advocates. They help support five community gardens throughout the county, provide local food to 17 partner sites, and operate a mobile food pantry.
