There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to eating well, and older adults have unique needs and priorities. This free one hour webinar highlights important considerations when running food-related programs for older adults, such as how their nutritional needs differ from other groups and how trauma-informed principles, such as building social connection through food, can help older adults thrive. Join us to learn strategies and gain tools and resources for supporting older adults. Note: This is a repeat of the webinar held in March, 2026.

Do you struggle with circular conversations in meetings that don’t seem to go anywhere? Are you anxious about what to do when conflict arises or someone dominates the conversation? In this engaging course, you will learn three simple, universally applicable approaches to help you confidently move any group from conflict or confusion to consensus and commitment.

How do we bridge the gap between complex nutrition science and the daily reality of a food pantry? This 60-minute webinar is designed specifically for food bankers, SNAP-Ed staff, and pantry volunteers without formal nutrition backgrounds who support community health every day. We’ll begin by establishing a shared language, breaking down basics like macronutrients and food groups to ensure everyone feels confident with the terminology. From there, we’ll take a "virtual tour" of a food distribution site. Together, we’ll explore common pantry items to discuss their health benefits and best practices for storage and food safety. We’ll also spend time busting common myths and navigating special dietary needs. You’ll walk away with a robust list of resources and the clarity to effectively communicate essential nutrition concepts to your guests. Note: This is a repeat of the webinar held in February, 2026

During this course, you will: - Understand how positive and adverse experiences affect individual and community relationships to food and dietary health. - Learn the basic process and principles of a trauma-informed approach and how to apply it to pantry work. - Learn actionable steps that you can take to create client and community-centered food distributions. - Gain resources and tools for implementing trauma-informed practices in their distribution through the physical environment, nutrition education, and gathering neighbor feedback.
