Last year, CAC distributed over 540,000 pounds of food through the Food Shelf. And rescued over 249,000 pounds of food from local retailers. Contact CAC to learn about the Food Shelf or Thursdays Table. They received a grant to become a SuperShelf! Join them on Wednesday, Feb. 27th, at noon for a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
SuperShelf trains and assists food shelves in the Six Steps to SuperShelf Systems Change (see diagram on the next page), which includes creating standards and introducing techniques that promote healthy eating. Our efforts have led SuperShelf to receive funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a five-year grant to expand our efforts. This funding speaks to the significance and potential impact of the approach this partnership has created.
