Food Pantry Project

Cooking demonstrations and nutrition displays are provided regionally to several food pantries to encourage low income individuals and families to utilize food provided to prepare healthy meals with nutritious cooking methods. Opportunity for tasting and taking home recipes is part of each visit. Workshops are also provided on location if feasible. Workshops have included topics such as: Meal Planning with Diabetes, Cooking for One or Two, Feeding your Family Without Starving Your Budget, Eating Gluten-Free and Emergency Meal Preparation.

Food Handling is a Risky Business and Food Safety for Volunteers also can be offered to staff, volunteers and participants of the food pantries.

Nutrition Notes To Go are newletters with seasonal nutrition topics and healthy recipes distributed with the Food Pantry Project.
