At Touch of Love Food Bank, we understand that overcoming food insecurity requires more than just access to food. It's about addressing the root causes that bring individuals and families to our doors. Our "More Than Food" program is designed to provide a comprehensive support system to help people move beyond crisis.
Financial difficulties can be a significant barrier to food security. We offer financial education workshops and one-on-one debt advice to help individuals manage their budgets more effectively and reduce or eliminate debt.
For those who are unemployed or underemployed, our employment support services offer resume writing workshops, job search assistance, and interview preparation to help individuals find and secure sustainable employment.
Understanding how to make healthy meals on a budget is crucial. Our cooking classes teach participants how to prepare nutritious and cost-effective meals using the items typically found in our food parcels.
Recognizing the impact of food insecurity on mental health, we provide access to mental health support and counseling services to help individuals cope with stress, anxiety, and depression.
Building a supportive community is vital. We facilitate support groups and social activities to reduce isolation, build resilience, and connect people with their peers who are facing similar challenges.
Whether you need support or are looking to help, there are many ways to get involved with our "More Than Food" program. Here's how:
