Fox Valley Food for Health promotes a nutrition focused community through teen education and serving those struggling with a health crisis. Our dedicated team of adult and teen volunteers cook approximately 600 organic, nutrient dense meals each week that are delivered to people in our community dealing with a health crisis (usually cancer). Blue Goose Market is an incredible supporter and allows up to host a gift card drive each November to help us pay for our groceries for these meals.
We are looking for friendly volunteers who are willing to work a 2 hour shift over the weekend of November 15th - 18th at the Blue Goose Market.
If you'd like to learn more about us, please check out our website. https://foxvalleyfoodforhealth.org or email Susan Ellward at susane@foxvalleyfoodforhealth.org for more information.

Mission Statement
Fox Valley Food For Health’s mission is to promote a nutrition focused community through teen education and serving those struggling with a health crisis.
Description
Cooking Caring Compassion Community
Founded in 2012 Fox Valley Food for Health teaches teens to grow organic produce and prepare healthy, beautiful meals that are delivered to patients dealing with serious illness, and their families. The program is unique in that four separate groups are brought together to create a healthier more connected community:
Patients and their families receive three to four healthy nutritious complete dinners, flavorful soups, a hearty salad and a healthy dessert weekly for 12 weeks without charge.
Caregivers have more time to focus on the emotional and practical needs of their family.
Teens receive focused training in cooking and gardening from mentors, many who are formally trained.
Adult volunteers gain a wonderful sense of fulfillment giving back to the community and fighting back against a disease that has affected so many.
Fox Valley Food for Health we know every bite needs to count! That’s why we prepare and deliver nutritious meals that enhance and support healing and better recovery outcomes.
Our meals not only support healing during crisis, but also aid our families in adopting good nutrition practices with whole foods that improve health and disease prevention.
