The Geneseo-Atkinson Food Pantry offers a Five Loaves Program that is designed to “turn scarcity into abundance.”

The program is under the direction of Nicole Freadhoff, assistant director at the Pantry.

Freadhoff explained the Five Loaves program aims to serve the whole person…”Five Loaves strives to positively impact your sense of wellness – economic, education, health, environment, and community, and empower you to live a more functional effective and healthy life.”

She said, “If you want to:

-Achieve significant life-changes.

-Feel empowered to live a more functional, effective and healthy life.

-Receive help developing and reaching goals.

-Pursue your goals and ambitions with the support and guidance of your coach.

Then the Five Loaves program is perfect for you.”

Five Loaves provides in-depth, one-one-one coaching to help the participant design a plan to create to meet their needs and aspirations, Freadhoff explained, and added, “Your coach will help you set long-term goals, and then break those goals down into smaller, more manageable steps. Your coach will also support and encourage you throughout the process.”

The program is free and confidential, and for more information or to register, call the Food Pantry at 309-944-3165 or email geneseopantry1@gmail.com
