In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, food insecurity has soared across the globe. In the United States alone, 34 million people experience food insecurity (Economic Research Service). Food insecurity may be linked to lower-quality diets and higher levels of obesity in many population groups and many teaching kitchens are employing innovative strategies to address food insecurity in the populations they serve. 
 
In this hour-long webinar, we’ll hear from three teaching kitchen educators about their successes and challenges with addressing food insecurity through their programs.

Join us for this webinar as we explore:
Strategies for making teaching kitchen programs accessible for food  insecure populations
How to guide participants in transforming food from pantries and food banks into nutritious and delicious meals
Collaborations teaching kitchens can seek out that will support their efforts for addressing food insecurity
