Participants will learn how food pantries work and what they can provide to the community as well as recipes and ideas for incorporating food items that may be available such fresh, frozen or canned veggies. Participants will also learn where food resources may be available and how to best access them.

Participants will learn about the differences between whole foods, minimally processed foods and ultra-processed foods. We will also focus on the varying degrees of food processing and then evaluate foods on that basis.

Participants will learn to identify ways of preparing foods and substituting ingredients to make meals healthier. Meal options can be tailored based on your habits, preferences and budget.
