The program looks to provide families living with food insecurity access to fresh produce, which may not be available to them on a regular basis.
HURON/PERTH - Huron Perth Public Health (HPPH) recently received funding from United Way Perth Huron in support of the Fresh Food Box program.
The program looks to provide families living with food insecurity access to fresh produce, which may not be available to them on a regular basis.
Parent Resource Visitor Susan Young says the program also helps families with recipes.
“Delivering the food boxes is also a great opportunity to provide parents with recipe suggestions and tips on feeding children to support healthy growth and development.”
Families with a low income experience food insecurity after their rent is paid, along with bills and other living expenses. Concerns on food insecurity are also being amplified due to COVID-19.
HPPH and the Local Community Food Centre in Stratford have teamed up to provide families connected to the Healthy Babies Healthy Children (HBHC) program in Huron and Perth with a food box every month. HBHC families receive more than 100 fresh food boxes each month.
