JF&CS News Fall 2013
Reva Haselkorn has been named the 2013 recipient of the Simone Lottor Exceptional Service Award for her work with JF&CS Nutrition Services. A trained chef, Reva is passionate about food and helping people in need. Last year, after learning how JF&CS is meeting families’ needs for healthy and affordable meals, Reva began volunteering with the agency’s Nutrition Services program.
“Food is a powerful way to bring people together, to carry our histories and our culture. Food is about family and education,” said Reva. “I wanted to use food as a medium to effect some kind of positive change.”
JF&CS Nutrition Services empowers people to improve their health by learning how to shop for and prepare healthy and affordable meals. Each year we reach more than 4,000 people at agency headquarters, community sites, supermarkets, and client homes through dozens of workshops, recipe distribution, cooking demonstrations, individual counseling, and staff training.
