How we are helping
Nutrition Counseling In Food Shelves
We partner with local food shelves to provide highly personalized, prevention-focused nutrition counseling that is tailored to those experiencing food insecurity in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro. Not only does this increase access to a traditionally costly service, it enables food shelves to provide these services without the strain of developing a unique program. Being able to provide nutrition counseling to food shelf clients bridges the gap between accessing food and understanding how to utilize these foods in the healthiest, most effective way possible. It is our goal to empower individuals and their families by teaching them nutrition-based knowledge and skills.
