Recipe for Success Teams up with Growing High Point
Growing High Point's Farm to Senior Produce Program partnered with Recipe for Success, which donated recipe cards and smart shopping brochures, adding a valuable layer of support to Growing High Point's initiative, aligning seasonal produce deliveries with practical resources. The resources were delivered to 21 senior citizens, along with fresh sweet potatoes, butternut squash, green and red peppers, beets, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, apples and a red onion. These recipes correlate with the seasonal produce that Growing High Point delivers 51 weeks of the year to food-insecure seniors in High Point.
