The Food Pantry at Sam Houston State University, the Department of Human Science’s Dietetic Internship Program, the American Heart Association (AHA) and the Houston Food Bank celebrated the signing of the Food Pantry Nutritional Policy during the pantry’s Sept. 6 distribution. The signing signified the launch of a collaboration that will focus on providing food security, nutrition education and health promotion to the SHSU community.
Kathleen Gilbert, director of the SHSU Food Pantry, Tabbetha Lopez, director of the Dietetic Internship Program, and their teams of students have worked hard to get the pantry designated as a Houston Food Bank Health Pantry Partner and are looking forward to this new collaborative project.
The organizations will partner to create a healthy food environment by linking research and education with the pantry’s services.
