Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
The Owsley County Expanded Food Nutrition Program Assistant partnered with the Owsley County Food Bank during the 2020 pandemic. During this time a total of six volunteers was used to place NEP material inside the food boxes. The assistant made weekly trips to the food bank delivering materials and information. Topics covered ranged from budgeting, proper hand washing, meal planning and food safety, etc.
A total of six hundred and eighty lessons was placed in food boxes. Volunteers are a huge asset to any program.
