Learn how to save money by reducing your household food wastes.
Food Smarts Waste Reduction (FSWR) is an interactive workshop created by Leah’s Pantry that teaches participants how to be resourceful and creative in the kitchen to save money and minimize food waste. Workshops can be a stand-alone lesson, or they can be a series of 2-3 lessons.
FSWR is a SNAP-Ed program, funded by the Michigan Fitness Foundation. To learn more about SNAP-Ed, visit SNAP-Ed at NKFM.
