National Food Day is October 24th 2014. This day is designed to
“resolve to make changes in our own diets and to take action to solve food-related
problems in our communities at the local, state, and national level”. One major focus of this
year’s Food Day is on equitable food access, something the Hunger Network of
Greater Cleveland advocates for every day right here in Cuyahoga County.
To
celebrate this event, the Hunger Network, in partnership with the Healthy Cleveland 2.0 Initiative of Cleveland City Council, will be hosting special
food demonstration at our monthly Stay Well Project event. Clients will gather
at the Harvard Community Services Center, one of the Hunger Network’s 11 hunger
centers selected to participate in Stay Well. Since October is Cold and
Flu month for Stay Well, we will have special flu-friendly food items that are
affordable, easy to make, and antioxidant-rich. Tiffani Gilbert from
Cutting Board Academy will be leading these demonstrations.
The
Stay Well Project, in partnership with University Hospitals Department of
Family Medicine and supported by the Mt. Sinai Health Care Foundation, always
strives to take a diet and lifestyle approach to the prevention/management of
disease, so this event is a great fit for us! This event will also
include our traditional health screenings (thanks to Tri-C School of Physician
Assistants and Ohio Northern University School of Pharmacy), including blood
pressure, blood sugar, body mass index and body fat percentage screenings, and
Walgreens will be supplying free flu shots to anyone interested in receiving
one.
The
Stay Well Project is free and open to all! More information can be found
