Food Bank Transformation course
This course offers a supportive learning environment for food bank staff and leaders who are interested in transforming their food bank operations towards more dignified practices. We explore how a mindset shift away from charitable responses to one that is more focused on social justice can position food banks to speak to the larger structural issues that cause food insecurity and transform your food bank into a program that is focused on health promotion, community engagement and dignified and respectful operations.
