Nutrition Education

We know that delivering sustenance is just the beginning — it’s critical that we also address hunger with nutritious food and education. We help pantry participants aim for a lifetime of good health by providing nutrition-education opportunities such as hands-on nutrition classes, recipes, and cooking demonstrations.

Our nutrition education classes and cooking demonstrations focus on making healthy meals from the groceries distributed at our pantries. Participants taste samples and receive recipes to try at home. During our four-week mini-series workshops, our nutrition educators cover nutrition basics, understanding food labels, and tips for healthy food preparation. We also offer training programs to staff at our nonprofit partners so that they can better support their participants.
