Nutrition Initiative

Providing healthy meals to individuals and families in need, emphasizing the importance of nutritional well-being in overall health

In 2021, we launched our Nutrition Policy and made a commitment to disrupting the cycle of poverty and food insecurity through a focus on sourcing nutritious foods.

Pantry clients are often forced to choose nutrient-poor foods rather than healthier foods. As a result, food-insecure households suffer disproportionately from higher rates of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other diet-related chronic diseases. Health issues compound financial issues thereby perpetuating the cycle of poverty.

Unhealthy diets amplify the negative outcomes experienced by food insecure individuals. The combination of an unhealthy diet and food insecurity can lead to health and financial implications such as:

– Impaired Growth In Children

– More chronic disease for adults

– Higher Healthcare Costs

– Missed work days and lower income
