Nutrition Education
We seek to:
-
Provide students and families with a healthier future
-
Contribute to a reduction in rates of obesity and chronic illness
-
Improve academic outcomes
Why Nutrition Education?
While providing weekly nutritional produce boxes is a great way to increase food security for families, we want to maximize the impact of the ingredients we provide. To this end we have partner with other programs to include nutrition curriculum for our distribution communities.
+BOX goes beyond delivering meals. We provide nutrition education to help families make the most of the food they receive, building healthy habits that last a lifetime. Our programs include cooking classes, recipe cards, and child-friendly options, all designed to empower families with the knowledge and skills to lead healthier lives.
How Can You Support Nutrition Education?
With support from our donors and community partners, +BOX provides nutrition education to the communities in most need, completely free for attendees. Over the next school year, our plan is to expand access to after-school nutrition education programs to all of our current and new school partners, to coincide with continued distributions of +BOXes in these communities.

With your contribution, you are supporting the development of healthy eating habits and information for students and families to lead happier and healthier lives.
