The Garrard County food pantry is open weekly and serves over 600 families each month. The Pantry allows the Garrard County SNAP-Ed assistant Lisa Lamb to conduct food demonstration and nutrition education program each week using My Plate Recipes and lessons from the Healthy Choices curriculum.

Six food pantry clients attended all of the weekly classes. They included people who work but run out of food before the end of the month.

One participant shared that she and her husband ate two meals a day in restaurants. Because of the classes and sample menus, she had started preparing at least 4 meals a week at home, had confidence in cooking and her husband started cooking with her. They are now enjoying planning and preparing meals together.
