Join us for a hands-on workshop on shelf-stable vegan food preservation led by Brightmoor neighbor and B’moor Nourished Free Pantry volunteer Leslie Young.

Leslie is a seasoned health and wellness advocate who specializes in holistic health practices. After navigating her own health challenges, she brings a grounded, practical perspective to the way food supports long-term wellbeing. Her workshops are interactive, welcoming, and built around the idea that everyone deserves access to the knowledge that keeps communities healthy.

Many in the neighborhood already know Leslie through her work with the B’moor Nourished Free Pantry, where she helps ensure healthy food reaches families in the community. She also shares her nutrition journey online—follow along at @plantpoweredleslie on Instagram.

In this class, Leslie will guide participants through practical methods for preserving plant-based foods so they remain shelf-stable, helping you make the most of seasonal produce, pantry staples, and bulk ingredients. You’ll learn techniques that reduce food waste, stretch your grocery budget, and keep nutritious options available year-round.

Whether you’re new to food preservation or looking to deepen your skills, this workshop is designed to make the process simple, empowering, and fun.

Come learn, connect, and leave with tools to turn abundance into lasting nourishment. 🌱
