| Impact Report | Gallup Community Pantry Tastings Latoya and Dawn have volunteered to prepare a recipe with food items that are distributed at the community pantry. It seems that most of the items that are given to clientele are sometimes refused because they do not know how to prepare the foods. By preparing a recipe and giving the people a sample of the recipe there is less waste and more of the foods are now taken home. The recipe is prepared by the nutrition educators and samples are provided for all who want to taste the sample. A different recipe is prepared each week and that recipe is also given to them to take home. There are about 900 people who qualify for the commodities and since the nutrition educators have been providing samples more people are utilizing all the food items that are given to them. The program has been very successful. These numbers are reported in the ICAN data base as one time contacts. They also receive pamphlets, nutrition fact and information each week to help them provide healthier meals for their families. This program started about three years ago and continues to grow. The collaboration between CES staff, Jim Harlin and Hilda Kendall this program works for both agencies. The panty also provides us with some of the foods we need for other ICAN programs which help keep the cost of programs low. |
