THE FOOD BANK
More than food, it is about health
Our state is No. 1 in
supplying food for the
world, yet there are some
people who may not have
access to low-cost and
healthy foods here. This is
where your local food bank
can help! The main goal
of the food bank is to feed
those in need. It does this
by collecting, storing and
redistributing food to people
as well as nonprofit agencies
that serve seniors, persons
with health conditions and
those in need.
But it is more than food:
it is about health and
wellness and ensuring that
everyone gets access to
healthy foods. In addition
to providing food, the food
bank seeks to improve
the overall health of its
participants. Food banks
supply fresh fruits and
vegetables, and some may
offer nutrition education
and exercise classes.
If you or someone you
know has a hard time
getting healthy foods,
the food bank is a great
resource. All three of our
service areas have a local
food bank. To receive help,
people need to: 1) provide
proof that they live in the
area of service, and 2) meet
the income guidelines.
