NORWALK — When Bill Peltz began organizing this fall’s food drive at the United Church of Rowayton in partnership with Person-to-Person, the food pantry sent him a list of healthy requests: salmon and chicken in water, unsalted nuts and seeds, granola bars and other foods low in salt and sugar.
The list was part of the Person-to-Person’s initiative for healthier foods.
In the aisles of the nonprofit’s newly renovated pantry, clients can load their carts with rutabagas, apples, tuna, peanut butter and beans. A recipe of the week is printed on cards for inspiration, and volunteers are available to discuss nutritional choices.
“The other day, I found bok choy, and I was blown away,” said Domica Skipworth, a recent client at Person-to-Person. “What I like is I always find great nutritional things.”
