Healthy Recipes:
Many times our cooler is filled with unfamiliar or mass quantities of produce. As part of our Feeding Families and Healthy Foods Initiatives, Roadrunner is creating a recipe book to assist agencies and clients in the preparation of produce and non perishable foods from the food bank. Each month, our e-newsletter will feature a different recipe. If you would like to help with this project or donate healthy family favorites, please contact rebecca@rrfb.org.
