Plan, Prep, Preserve: Your Path to Saving Food and Money
This workshop will introduce promotoras and promotores to a free toolkit for community educators: “Plan, Prep, Preserve: Your Path to Saving Food and Money.” The toolkit was designed for and tested with parents with low-incomes to help them save money on food through reducing food waste. The toolkit provides participant materials in English and Spanish and emphasizes research-based strategies such as: planning meals, proper food storage, keeping and using leftovers, and recognizing when food is still good to eat.
- Explore the Plan, Prep, Preserve toolkit and its resources for reducing household food waste and saving money on food.
- Practice strategies for helping households buy, store, prepare, and use food in ways that reduce what gets thrown away.
- Develop ideas for using the toolkit with community members through culturally relevant education.
