Nutrition
Our Nutrition Program was founded on the belief that access to healthy food provides the foundation for future success. From healthy meals for pre-schoolers and seniors to culinary training, our focus is on health, education, and self-reliance.
Services & Benefits
Our Nutrition program provides meal and food assistance for households struggling with food insecurity.

“The Nutrition program has been there when it’s been a couple of days before payday or a couple of days before we get food stamps when we’ve been short because the kids wanted to eat extra or they were out of school a couple of extra days. They’ve been there to get us food to get us through. ”

“The services we provide are always important, but especially right now with the pandemic we’re suffering through. Food insecurity has really increased. There are a lot of people who are dealing with power outages and evictions, but you can’t focus on any of that if you’re hungry. Helping people deal with their food security is really job one towards them being able to solve the other problems that are pressing on them.”
