Creating Healthier Food Pantries Workshop and Lunch

Please join us for free lunch and discussion!

What can congregations and emergency food providers do to ensure our food pantries and donations both feed and adequately nourish people who are experiencing food insecurity?

• Many food-pantry users are battling one or more chronic diseases. Foods commonly given out at food pantries are high in salt and sugar and are lacking in important disease fighting nutrients.

• There is an opportunity to make a difference. Guilford County is ranked #1 for food hardship in the United States and many of our community members lack access to nutritious foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables.

Registered dietitians from the Partnership for Community Care will discuss their Healthy Food Pantry Program and encourage you to think “outside of the donation box” with ideas for creating your own healthy food packages. Partners in Health and Wholeness will share about other resources available to equip faith communities with the ability to address these needs.

Please call Shannon at 336-912-0976 with any questions.
