Baltimore Community Action Partnership in partnership with New Psalmist
Baptist Church will implement Project Fresh Beginning. This innovative
program provides nutritional education and food resources to help
low-income families sustain a healthy lifestyle and household budget.
Our participating families are given the knowledge and skill necessary
to develop healthy fresh food choices in their community through our use
of dialogue learning. This approach to instruction allows the families
to actively engage in their learning and make a personal meaning of the
workshop material thus creating a greater chance to elicit behavior
change. In addition, we provide the families an opportunity to
demonstrate their new skills on the last week of the four week
initiative through a Shopping Matters tour. The Shopping Matters tour
brings the families directly to the grocery store for a dynamic learning
experience of comparing unit prices and food labels; identify whole
grain, and identify at least three economical ways of purchasing fruits
and vegetables.
