Abstract
ABSTRACT During April and May 2022, four schools in rural southern Illinois hosted food drives to stock pantry shelves for summer. To test the efficacy of a brief intervention encouraging healthier donations, a random sample of foods from each drive was evaluated for nutrition quality. The Supporting Wellness at Pantries (SWAP) stoplight nutrition system was used to evaluate saturated fat, sodium, and sugar content of 1,157 foods. Results were positive with 35.2% of foods being categorized as green (choose often), 42% yellow (choose sometimes), and 22.7% red (choose rarely). No significant differences existed between drives. Providing shopping lists increases healthier donations.
