Not being offered for Spring, Summer or Fall 2022 Create a packet of reading materials (pdf) and other informative content (we are open to ideas including graphics for posting and coloring books) to educate each of three age groups: elementary, middle and high school students separately on issues surrounding nutrition. Topics of interest include how to reduce food waste, how food banks and food pantries work and their differences, what is food insecurity, basic nutrition for individuals.

For middle & high school age ideas include "who needs food assistance & why", what are good foods to donate and what are NOT good foods to donate", basics of nutrition, what is food insecurity, etc.
