I love what you are doing! I used to help out with a food bank at a church. We no longer go to church and our philosophy has evolved. The church got lots of food donated by stores. Some of it was nutritious but there was lots of cake and other sweets. The people would come in and load up on the unhealthy stuff and leave behind the nice nutritious stuff because they didn’t know how to cook it or were not willing to try something new. I ended up taking home gourmet cheeses and hummus and vegetables because otherwise they would have gone to waste. A lot of the people coming in were obese and unhealthy. It think it would have benefited them so much more to be taught about healthy foods and good helpalth practices rather than hammer them with the “gospel.”
