Supporting Holiday Meals
Nutritional Food Insecurity
When exposed to trauma or extreme stress, these individuals often face food restriction, excessive exposure to alcohol, caffeine, and ultra-processed food options, and reduced food aid. As a result, neurological changes occur in the brain. As well, the increased risk of food insecurity and housing crisis situations prevail along with amplified financial limitations to nutrient-dense food options. Many people may resort to residential programs where their food is cooked and prepared for them, having no control over the selection of their dietary options.
The Supporting Holiday Meals program provides complimentary nutrition-based resources and also nutrient-dense holiday meals for residents or clients of our partnering organizations.
