Collapse ▲Earlier this month, EFNEP (Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program) Educators from across the Southeast Region met in Brunswick County for a valuable professional development opportunity. Educators were provided a tour of the food pantry at Brunswick Family Assistance (BFA) by Executive Director, Kyle Abrams. During the tour, the EFNEP Educators were joined by Caren Maloy, Food Bank/Food Pantry Extension Associate with the SNAP-Ed (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education) Steps to Health program. Staff at the pantry provided insights into the pantry’s operations and its role in addressing food insecurity within the community.
The Brunswick Family Assistance food pantry will soon successfully complete the Healthy Food Access Pantry Training Program. This program provides guidance and resources to food pantries to help them offer more nutritious options and promote healthier eating habits among their clients. Angie Lawrence, the EFNEP Educator in Brunswick County, is already actively engaged, conducting food demonstrations that offer practical tips and recipes for preparing healthy meals. Soon, Angie will expand her efforts by initiating a series of EFNEP classes at the pantry, providing EFNEP’s nutrition education to individuals and families who utilize BFA’s services. These classes are designed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills to make informed food choices and improve their overall well-being.
