Wellness Education
We take a holistic approach to wellness. Our programs explore how food and nutrition, along with other wellness practices, can enhance overall well-being. We value the community we work in and the people we serve. We aim to offer education that is inclusive, culturally relevant, accommodating, and informative.
Mandela Partners’ Wellness Education Program takes a holistic approach to wellness, focusing on four key areas—
physical
spiritual
mental
social
Through the Wellness Education Program, we offer a variety of workshops and programming that promote overall well-being. One of our core offerings is Nourished Neighbors, an 8-week workshop series specifically designed for residents, with a focus on seniors, through our Seasoned Seniors program, and children, through Culinary Kids Corner.
Our goals for participants include:
01
Learning new nutritious recipes they can prepare at home.
02
Gaining a deeper understanding of how food and nutrition impact their own social, physical, spiritual, and mental well-being.
03
Feeling more equipped and inspired to make healthier lifestyle choices.
04
Experiencing a sense of community and connection through shared learning.
In addition to Nourished Neighbors, we collaborate with other Mandela Partners programs to support their participants. These collaborations include:

Food Access Programs
We engage community members through community taste tests at our Community Produce Stands. We use nutritious recipes using readily available seasonal ingredients, and promote healthier and more local eating habits. We also offer recipe cards featuring seasonal ingredients that are accessible and align with familiar dietary experiences, needs and preferences of our community.
