Nutrition Education & Recipes
Nutrition education is a pivotal component of Food for People’s holistic approach to community wellbeing. By providing valuable education and a nutrition educator, Food for People empowers individuals to make informed choices about their diets. We prioritize health and nutrition alongside hunger relief, and blend this with a variety of tools for approaching healthy eating economically. Our Nutrition Educator incorporates nutrition classes, cooking videos and demonstrations, recipe cards, and on-site education alongside CalFresh outreach, to ensure that community members are not only able to access nutritious food, but also understand how to prepare it. The educational conversations and recipes shared often encourage people to experiment with a new ingredient or a healthier preparation of a well-loved dish. Our nutrition education program is a key aspect of shifting Humboldt County into a healthier and more food-secure place.
