With SHF funds, WVU Wirt County Extension Service's Spring Valley Food Pantry Nutrition Program held 22 food tasting sessions with fresh fruits and vegetables. Participants were provided with a recipe, nutrition information, and main ingredients to make the dish at home. Before the program, fruits and vegetables were the hardest to pass out. The program then offered a chance to sample a dish prepared with the fresh ingredients. After this, families were excited to try the new recipes at home. Up to 75% of participants chose to taste the recipe and about 50% took the fruits and vegetables home to prepare their own dishes. Thank you, Wirt County Extension, for promoting healthy eating!
The Spring Valley food pantry would like to thank The Sisters Health Foundation, The WVU Wirt County Extension Service and Callie Daugherty for your assistance and hard work in helping us understand how important and easy healthy eating is. Some of the fruits and vegetables that we receive in donations are not what we are used to using and you provided recipes and delicious tastings that introduced us to new and healthy experiences at our food pantry.
