Who We Are

Health on Wheels aims to grow beyond food distribution and is committed to empowering individuals and families with knowledge and skills related to nutrition, cooking, and sustainable food practices. Through a range of educational courses, HOW aims to promote healthy eating habits, build culinary skills, and foster a deeper understanding of food systems and sustainability.

 

HOW was proud to develop and lead four weeks of nutrition and movement classes at Palm Heaven Park. Nineteen of the 800 residents participated in all four weeks and the evaluations were overwhelmingly positive.

 

These first four classes were designed to help individuals make the most of their available resources, this course focuses on preparing nutritious meals while being mindful of cost. Participants learned practical tips for budget meal planning, smart grocery shopping, and cooking affordable yet delicious dishes.

 

Reener's dedication extends beyond their role as Director. They are an avid public speaker, engaging in community forums and conferences to raise awareness about food insecurity, advocate for policy changes, and inspire others to join the fight against hunger.
