Major Activities

Activity 2

NUTRITION PROGRAM - We take a holistic approach to our guests' wellbeing. One area we especially focus on is the meal we serve each morning. We put great emphasis on nutrition making sure we serve hearty portions of fruits, vegetables, salads, and other low fat, low sugar items. We work with a nutritionist who assists our guests in planning meals for their families and working within a budget. Our parenting class has a section of its agenda which also focuses on nutrition. The number of guests that came to the center was 43,315 over a 239 day period, covering this current fiscal year. For many of our guests, our morning meal is the main meal of their day. Many national and cultural holidays are celebrated with special meals.

Activity 3

CHILDREN'S CORNER - Our children are also a main concern and we take a creative approach to developing social skills and learning. The coordinator of the Children's Corner is very gifted in these areas and, as well, many of our volunteers are former teachers who bring a great deal of expertise. We still have the weekly presence of the River City Roadrunner Group which works with both the children and the moms. The nursing and child development interns also assist in the Children's Corner. During the fiscal year, we distributed 25,904 diapers and wipes, another avenue of building self-esteem.
