A Helping Hand ••••••••••••••••••
If you are in need of food assistance, check out some of these helpful tips and resources.
••••• Simple Tips •••••
within your budget
SHOP
Spend some time exploring the produce section. Look for produce that's in season or on sale to save some money.
COOK
Double the recipe. Making twice as much doesn’t usually take twice the time. Make a double batch and save one for another meal, especially if it’s a family
favorite.
EAT
Half now, half later. Portion size too big?
Try saving half of your food for another meal.
