Clark County Food Bank distributes an average of 11,000 emergency food boxes per month, reaching an estimated 33,000 residents per month – and the need in Clark County continues to increase. To help individuals become more self-sufficient and make better choices in healthy living, our AmeriCorps members connect clients to community resources, provide workshops on healthy eating, urban gardening, meal planning, basic cooking skills and food budgeting. In addition, through community outreach and establishing partnerships with local organizations, the members reach individuals and families in areas of the county with limited access to healthy food – coordinating deliveries of wholesome food, and providing nutrition education.
