Serving Kosher and Halal Clients: Expanding Equity & Access for all New Yorkers

In this workshop we will discuss how Met Council distributes millions of pounds of kosher and halal food annually by leveraging our expertise in serving clients with religiously informed dietary requirements, approaching policy with purpose and leveraging technology.
We will then showcase the approaches we rely on to providing culturally competent food access for our clients throughout the year, including ensuring their needs are met during special holidays. In this workshop we will share information on how providers and advocates can work to expand their outreach. We would also like to offer Kosher and Halal 101 training to participants so that they feel more equipped to potentially serve their neighbors with religiously informed dietary needs.
