National Nutrition Month 2017
March is National Nutrition Month. As a food bank with a focus on building a healthier community, we take this and run with it - both internally and externally. This year, on top of our external calendar that we share with our donors, those we serve, and the community at large, we launched an internal board game to bring staff together through healthy food, exercise, and education. Through out committee, we came up with an idea, and I created a printable board game that offered the chance to earn points daily. We worked to make it so that everyone, even our drivers who spend the bulk of their days on the road, would be able to earn at least one point a day if they wanted to participate. In addition to the board game, I created game pieces for staff to choose from in the form of anthropomorphic fruits and veggies - the blueberry was the fan favorite. At the end of the month, the employee with the most points was the special "Golden Fork Award" created out of a deconstructed trophy, forks, glue, and gold spray paint.
