Warrior Wellness Project tackles food insecurity among local veterans 12/18/2025

Congratulations West Palm Beach VA Healthcare System and the Warrior Wellness Project! We are really proud to be part of this incredible initiative.

Warrior Wellness Project tackles food insecurity among local veterans A new initiative at the V.A. hospital in West Palm Beach is addressing food insecurity among veterans.

Yesterday was my keynote address in Orlando for the University of Florida Institute for Food and Agricultural Sciences Extention.

It was during the annual training for the amazing group of people who educate S.N.A.P. recipients all throughout the state of Florida, teaching them about the many areas of good nutrition. 

What an incredible experience, ya'll. I am so lucky to have been able to spend time with these heroes. They give so much of themselves to help their clients understand that cooking healthy food is within their reach. They work long hours, late nights and drive long distances to be able to reach as many people as possible. 

I was nervous giving my speech to them, telling my story of how I began cooking and the role that food plays in our family. 

Believe it or not, giving that speech ended up being so much fun. I laughed a lot. The audience laughed a lot. What a great experience.

Thank you so much to Ms. Lynnette and Ms. Jeannie for inviting me to be your keynote speaker and for making the event so much fun!

Thank you, Remy Willow Powell! Your talk was awesome! Hearing your story—kid-style—made us smile and reminded us how cool cooking and healthy eating can be for kids. Thanks for sharing your journey with our FNP family during Annual Training.
