But beyond the giving of food, Super Pantry addresses some basic causes of hunger and poverty and works with clients to make changes in their lifestyle. They then receive groceries to make those recipes. Participants in the Super Pantry program learn the basics of good nutrition in Lexington, Kentucky. Jodi and others have learned from the Super Pantry program. Lisa, another participant in the Super Pantry program, learned to make a weekly meal plan using the Food Pyramid as a guide.
Workshops lasting six weeks emphasize personal development.
Topics include nutrition, health education and life skills. Three local LCMS congregations support the work of Super Pantry.
