March is National Nutrition Month! 🧡
In this video, Registered Dietitian Colette Banda answers some common nutrition questions and shares helpful tips to support healthier eating habits.

Good nutrition isn’t about being perfect, it’s about balance and making small, consistent choices over time. Even simple changes can make a meaningful difference in your overall health.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on February 26 for our Annual Heart Health & Home Cooking Demo! 🧡

From learning the F.A.S.T. warning signs of stroke to enjoying heart-healthy samples and a live cooking demonstration, it was a wonderful evening focused on practical steps toward better heart health.

We loved seeing our community come together to learn, ask questions, and take proactive steps for healthier living.
