Nutritious Food Pantry Meals
Author: Carolina Robles
Planning Unit: Jefferson County CES
Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General
Plan of Work: Accessing healthy foods & improving local food systems
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
The problem: Individuals do not know how to make healthy and nutritious meals with items coming from the food pantry. These individuals can only shop at food pantries and they are having trouble getting all of the nutrients they need.
The educational program response: This programs takes items that are found in the food pantry and uses recipes from planeatmove to show individuals what they can make with what is available to them. I show them what they need and all of the ingredients are mainly canned. I give them tools to use with their family's so they can eat healthier even when they shop from a food pantry. n
The participants/target audience: Target audience are individuals who shop at food pantries, mainly international individuals.
Other partners (if applicable): Eastern Area Community Ministries
Program impact or participant response: Participants have learned how to use ingredients provided by the food pantry in different ways and will continue to get more recipes they can use, as this is an ongoing monthly program.
