Cape Cod Hunger Network
The Cape Cod Hunger Network is an organization linking the many food pantries and soup kitchens on Cape Cod. By joining forces with one another as well as representatives from Project Bread, the Boston Food Bank and Barnstable County, the network is able to more effectively work toward the collective goal of eradicating hunger on Cape Cod. The network also produces “A Guide for Help in Locating Food for You and Your Family”, a listing of all Cape Cod food pantries with their locations and hours.
Tri-County Collaborative for Oral Health Excellence
(Tri-CCOHE)
The Tri-CCOHE’s mission is to create an oral health system with 100 percent access to a full range of services for residents of Barnstable, Dukes, and Nantucket counties. The Collaborative works to improve children’s oral health through preventive treatment and community-based solutions while promoting the importance of children’s oral health among policymakers, physicians, educators and service providers. Dental decay remains the most common, chronic disease on Cape Cod. Funds from the race will support a preschool dental disease prevention project.
