Nutrition for Life
We believe that providing food is not enough. Our goal is to alleviate hunger in the Panhandle and to do that requires us to take a step beyond providing food. Educating consumers about healthy living habits allows for a higher probability of self-sufficiency and greater food security. Speaking engagements can be scheduled upon request.
- To help us educate the public about nutrition, we use USDA approved curriculum in a single class or series format.
- Each class is approximately 30-45 minutes long with the option of a cooking demonstration
- Please contact Justin to host a class or class series.
- With the help of Window on a Wider World (WoWW) and our Kids Cafe Program we are able to offer nutrition education to many students across the Panhandle.
- We encourage students in our "Fruit and Vegetable Superhero" lesson to eat a colorful plate to obtain superpowers from fresh fruits and vegetables.
- The Garden serves as our "outdoor classroom" on site at the High Plains Food Bank.
- Students, both children and adults, can come and learn how to grow vegetables in the Panhandle and also learn about the health benefits of growing your own food!
- For more information, please contact Cara.
