The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant increase in demand for emergency food boxes as more families faced layoffs and cutbacks in Lawrence County. Lawrence County’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) senior Assistant partnered with 3 food banks to get nutrition information and healthy recipes into food boxes for families in the community monthly. Sharing information and recipes from our Healthy Choices for Every Body Curriculum on how to store and prepare the food received will cut back on waste. Waste will be reduced because families will have the tools and information needed to prepare and store items before they expire. Pairing specific recipes with foods received in food boxes will help preparation of healthy nutritious meals for families. By partnering with the food banks, the SNAP-Ed senior assistant was able to reach 1625 families throughout Lawrence County. Providing resources to help through these tough times and in the future will leave a lasting impact on our county. The SNAP-Ed senior assistant continues to provide nutrition information and recipes on a weekly basis to the food banks in Lawrence County.
