Training for Emergency Food Provider Volunteer Chefs: This activity arises from one Health Ambassador's growing disquiet about the nutritional quality of the food distributed by her emergency food provider program. After taking an informal poll and discovering that 40% of the clients present were diabetics, she resolved to shift the menu to healthier fare, in hopes of preventing more serious disease and ill-health in the local homeless and at-risk population. This activity trains the kitchen's volunteer cooks in healthier recipes and healthier alternatives to the standard fare.
