INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Local nonprofit Faith, Hope and Love recently announced major additions to its curriculum aimed at improving community health.
FHL President Marlin Gonzalez stopped by Daybreak on Thursday to talk with News 8’s Jeremy Jenkins about the nonprofit’s new initiatives.
This program emphasizes the important role of nutrition in promoting overall health and facilitating recovery from illness. In particular, FHL aims to expand its food inventory to accommodate specific dietary needs such as kidney issues and gluten-free diets.
“That’s why we’re here: to empower, to train, and also to support the efforts of small and medium-sized food pantries,” Gonzalez said.
The curriculum, backed by compelling data from renowned researchers, sparked great interest among participants.
FHL plans to launch initially at a membership site in Indianapolis before quickly expanding to other locations within Indiana. The organization works closely with the Latin Division, which is made up of 13 food pantries, to ensure all information is translated accurately.
“We don’t want to reduce pantry lines, we want to eliminate them completely and give people the tools to get out of poverty,” Gonzalez said.
