Central Illinois Food Bank Adopts Nutrition Policy

Food banks do their best to provide quality, fresh products. 

 

Central Illinois Food Bank adopted an official policy to guide you towards the healthiest food possible. Public Relations Manager Tim Kirsininkas explains. 

The red, yellow, green categories help break up what foods are good to eat all the time, and which foods you should rarely eat. 

While fresh fruit and veggies can be difficult to come by at times, Partner Resource Coordinator Brock Denherder says there are other healthy options in that green category. 

Locally, Taylorville Food Pantry has great access to fresh food, but Co-Coordinator Amy Hagen says they need your help with a couple of events coming later in October. 

Stamp Out Hunger event is October 23rd. Hagen, Denherder and Kirsininkas appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
