Planning Unit: Fleming County CES
Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Fleming County recently celebrated the 100th month of food delivery from God’s Pantry.
The SNAP-Ed assistant along with other Fleming County Cooperative Extension Personnel and volunteers from many of the local churches work together to hold the much needed food giveaway.
With there being between 700 and 800 families on the pantry list a four month rotation of the recipients is necessary as there is only enough food delivered each month for 140 families. Most of the ones receiving the pantry are so grateful they have a smile on their faces and a kind Thank-you for the volunteers.
By being a part of this collaboration the SNAP assistant has acquired a number of new clients and the “Healthy Choices for Every Body” curriculum has been essential to encourage the participants to learn more about food spending along with meal planning and food safety for themselves and their families.
