The Food Bank of Central New York’s three registered dietitians conduct a range of nutrition education for our member programs including food safety trainings, workshops teaching healthy behaviors, and food demonstrations.

There is a strong emphasis on proper food safety practices and the Food Bank works closely with our member programs to ensure that people are being served safely.

Our registered dietitians reinforce the New York State Department of Health’s Eat Well Play Hard nutrition principles when providing nutrition education to emergency food recipients:

• Eat more fruits and vegetables
• Eat and drink 1% or non-fat dairy products
• Increase physical activity

If you are interested in nutrition education at your site please contact Mary Lou Plante, Nutrition Resource Mangager at (315) 437-1899 x261 or mlplante@foodbankcny.org .
