Collaborated with the Food Pantry

Author: Joni Phelps

Planning Unit: Livingston County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

According to the Food Insecurity Data for Caldwell County, Kentucky, 15.6% of the population experiences food insecurity.  To combat this hunger issue, The Feeding America Kentucky Heartland and Christ Tabernacle Food Pantry serves Caldwell County residents on a weekly basis.  In addition to providing a variety of supplemental food for over 200 Caldwell County residents each week, the food pantry also delivers Senior Commodity Food boxes. Each month volunteers pack over 300 family boxes and load them into the recipient’s automobiles ones a month for the big distraction.   

During the 2020-2021 program year, The Caldwell County SNAP-Ed Senior Program assistant collaborated with the food pantry by placing nutritional information, healthy recipes and invitations to upcoming community classes in potential client’s hands during distribution.   With COVID-19 this distribution was especially instrumental in providing commodity recipes, newsletters and researched based health information.
