π Emergency Preparedness Starts One Step at a Time
Many low-income families face unique challenges during power outages and severe weather events. Simple items such as AA and AAA batteries can make a significant difference by helping families maintain access to flashlights, weather radios, communication devices, and other essential emergency supplies.
One practical emergency preparedness strategy is purchasing a pack of batteries during regular grocery tripsβespecially when they are on sale or coupons are available. Building an emergency kit gradually can help families prepare for unexpected situations without creating additional financial strain.
Earlier today, DFOWW Incorporated hosted a supplemental food distribution at Growth Mindset Wellness PC in Stockbridge, Georgia.
However, food distributions are only one component of our Write-Right Nutrition Program.
Our program was designed to combine nutrition literacy education with supplemental food assistance because providing food alone addresses immediate needs, while education helps families develop long-term skills related to nutrition, budgeting, food security, gardening, and healthy living.
To ensure that limited resources reach those actively engaged in our educational programming, supplemental food distributions are primarily reserved for enrolled Write-Right Nutrition Program participants and our trusted community partners.
π± Families who register and participate in our upcoming Kids & Parents Gardening Workshop will become eligible for future supplemental food distributions and other program resources.
During this hands-on workshop, families will learn:
β
How to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices at home
β
Container gardening for apartments and small spaces
β
Ways to stretch grocery budgets and SNAP benefits
β
Nutrition and healthy eating habits
β
Practical strategies to improve household food security
π Space is limited. Register today:
