Supporting Local Food Assistance Programs: A Community Approach to Dining Services

Our dining teams play a powerful role not only in nourishing those they serve but also in strengthening their broader communities. In this discussion, we’ll explore how aging services organizations are partnering with local food assistance programs from food banks and community kitchens to meal delivery initiatives to help reduce food insecurity and share culinary expertise. Join us as we exchange ideas on sourcing, partnerships, volunteer engagement, and creative ways dining professionals can make a difference beyond their own kitchens. Together, we’ll highlight the impact that collaboration and compassion can have on the health and well-being of our neighbors.
