Description
Can you pull together a Thanksgiving dinner when money's tight? Join WUD Cuisine for a hearty dinner and hands-on holiday simulation where you'll put your culinary creativity to the test, navigating tight budget caps and building a Thanksgiving spread using only items commonly found at a local food pantry instead of your go-to wish list. You'll experience the real-world trade-offs food-insecure households face during the holidays, followed by an insightful overview and open Q&A with experts from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services on how the state’s FoodShare (EBT) program helps bridge the gap.
