Our Impact
What’s Happening
Nutrition education is a key part of how we fight hunger. We offer nutrition education classes every month, and during #NationalNutritionMonth in partnership with Florida Milk, we’re placing a special focus on dairy and how it can be part of healthy, budget-friendly meals. Our classes help individuals and families learn how to stretch their grocery dollars, prepare nutritious meals, and make informed food choices. Classes are available in English and Spanish, making them accessible to more neighbors across Southwest Florida. 👉 Learn more or sign up: harrychapinfoodbank.org/florida-nutrition-education/snap/ #NationalNutritionMonth #HarryChapinFoodBank #swfl #dairyfarming #RecipeOfTheMonth #DairyDelicious #communitysupport
