NourishNet Educational Tools for Pantries and Universities
Are you a food donation distributor? Do you work or volunteer in food pantries and would like to empower your visitors with skills and knowledge that help them store food properly, repurpose leftovers, optimize their grocery shopping, and more? Do you work directly with food surplus donation recipients in colleges and universities? This webinar is for you!
NourishNet is a multidisciplinary team of UMD experts and external partners creating tools and programs to prevent food waste and expand access to safe, healthy, and nutritious food for people experiencing food insecurity by optimizing connectivity between producers, donors, charitable food service organizations, and consumers.
Members of the NourishNet team will share key highlights from our consumer education pilot trial, along with educational tools designed to reduce and prevent food waste at the consumer level. Our approach includes in-person, direct education, and targeted activities geared towards two specific sectors of the food ecosystem: 1) food pantry clients and 2) college students.
