Major Activities

Activity 2

NUTRITION PROGRAM - We take a holistic approach to our guests' wellbeing. One area of focus 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 and preparing 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 guest that came to the center was 47,319 over a 236 day period, covering this current fiscal year. For many of our guests, our morning meal is the main meal of their day. We also celebrate cultural and national holidays 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 have a weekly presence of the River City Roadrunner Group which works with both the children and their moms. The nursing interns also assist in the Children's corner. During this fiscal year, 4,341 came to the children's corner over a 236 day period. We distributed 35,700 diapers and wipes, another avenue of building self-esteem.
