The Three Pillars of Fresh Start
Nourish - Fresh Food Sourcing and Delivery
This pillar’s objective is to provide our neighbors with the best quality food possible by intentionally sourcing nutrient-rich, fresh foods. Doing so ensures our neighbors always have access to healthy options, even in the dead of winter. This nutritious food is distributed farmers market style through our Mobile Food Pantry program.
Empower - Education Sessions and Activities
The second pillar’s objective is to empower our neighbors to take control of their health and wellbeing by providing education sessions that cover a variety of subjects at select Mobile Food Pantries. Currently, we are focusing on cooking demonstrations and nutrition education. In the future, we would like to explore sessions focusing on other relevant topics like food preservation and budgeting. We also provide activities for children that encourage them to eat well and explore food in a fun way.
Enable - Tools and Resources
The third pillar’s objective is to enable our neighbors to form healthy eating habits by providing tools and resources for success. These can take the form of cooking supplies, recipe cards, tip sheets and more.
