The Unity House Food Pantry was serving hors d’oeuvres and fresh veggies on Tuesday.

It was part of an effort to show how a household can put food pantry staples to good use. A bag of dried beans may be daunting to someone who has never cooked from scratch before, but with some tips and a recipe, you can make a nutritious (and delicious) meal. On hand for the afternoon party of sorts were two Interns from local colleges. One is studying toward a degree in Human Services, the other in Dietetic Services. Together, they were greeting our ‘shoppers’ and offering snacks and recipes.
