Pantry Objectives:

The Health Access Program aims to educate and provide fair access to resources for a community that has been historically overlooked. Our team helps Acre residents and Lowellians gain the knowledge and tools needed to take charge of their health. When our community needs assistance, the health.

Recent achievements:

• Distributed 525 turkeys and baskets to Lowell Residents for thanksgiving.

• Successfully ran 10 sessions of nutrition/cooking classes using items only found in our pantry to promote accessibility when it comes to healthy cooking, with 10 participants in each session and a 80% attendance rate.

• Successfully facilitated 3 6 week session of Diabetes Self-Management Programming to 49 participants in 2023 with a 75% attendance rate. Most of our participants went on to use the skills learned in this program in their every day lives. Access staff responds by creating programs based on data and input from community members. Our team consists of three public health professionals who are committed to serving this community.
