Healthy Habits, Eating Well on a Budget, is the community nutrition program of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. Our team of culinary and nutrition professionals work directly with the Food Bank’s network of partner agencies and their guests. Healthy Habits standards are based on relevant, science-based nutrition information.
Our team offers nutrition classes, workshops, and cooking demonstrations on-site and virtually, as needed, for our 150 member agencies. They also provide a variety of nutrition resources, including handouts, recipes, and educational videos.
View our Healthy Habits brochure to learn more.
Healthy Habits is currently accepting invitations to host classes, workshops, and cooking demonstrations at member agencies for guests, staff, and volunteers.
