Healthy Minds

Our Healthy Minds Program is a multi-pronged food security project that reduces food waste and builds food literacy in our community.

An Urban Garden provides fresh vegetables for our Food Bank or to be used in healthy, ready-made prepared meals.

Soups, casseroles, desserts, and individual meals are prepared from garden ingredients, end-of-life food bank items, and other ingredients. The meals are served fresh in our Café or frozen and distributed through our Food Bank. Cooking classes provide nutritional knowledge and experience.

And food bundles with healthy snacks and drinks are prepared for children ages 1-5 and given to families through our Food Bank.
