Client Choice Model: families select their own fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable goods. This provides a shopping experience that honors the individual and meets dietary needs and cultural preferences.
Families Unlimited Network’s Food Bank operates on a Client Choice Model, moving away from the 'emergency box' approach to provide a shopping experience that honors the individual. Families can select their own fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable goods, ensuring assistance meets dietary needs and cultural preferences, reduces waste, and preserves dignity.
