Leon County Government invites media partners to What’s That Green Stuff?, a healthy cooking and neighborhood resource fair event, on Thursday, February 23, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Bond Elementary School, 2204 Saxon Street.
Building on the success and feedback from the County’s Breaking Bread food insecurity neighborhood meetings last year, this family-friendly event will include a healthy cooking demonstration and opportunities for neighborhood residents to learn about the feeding programs and resources available in the community, including the Second Harvest Backpack Program and neighborhood food pantries.
Held in partnership with the City of Tallahassee, United Way of the Big Bend, Children’s Services Council of Leon County, UF/IFAS Leon County Extension, and Second Harvest of the Big Bend, this event will include healthy, delicious food tastings as well as music and prizes.
Leon County Government continues to address food security barriers in neighborhoods with the highest food insecurity rates in Leon County through collaborative community partnerships and innovative initiatives, including the new grocery lockers at Sabal Palm Elementary. To learn more about local food pantries and distribution sites, visit the Second Harvest of the Big Bend website at FightingHunger.org. |
