Getting Healthy Foods to Seniors
At the Food Bank,
20% of the guests served by our member agencies are over the age of 60. Since
May is Older Americans Month, we’re highlighting one of the programs that
delivers food assistance to seniors in need. The federally-funded Commodities
Supplement Food Program provides a box of healthy food once a month to
qualified participants.
Job Training Program Marks 20 Years
At the 20th
anniversary celebration of the Food Bank’s culinary job training program,
Community Kitchen Instructor Chef Heather Langlois (left) was recognized for
her devotion to the program for the past two decades. Alumni, volunteers and
staff gathered last week to celebrate twenty years of transforming lives
through culinary education.
Agencies Share Best Practices
Each year, the Food
Bank hosts an annual conference to bring together volunteers and staff from
our member agencies to share best practices and honor outstanding work. This
year's theme was collaboration and invited speakers discussed ways to work
together to provide the best programs and services to guests at our member
agencies.
