Nutrition Matters more then ever!

United Way of Passaic County kicked off another season of Nutrition Matters this week at Children's Day Nursery and Family Center in Passaic.

Nutrition Matters is an 8-week program that focuses on improving the nutrition and health of pre-school children living in very low-income households. 13 mothers and 2 fathers will attend the 8 sessions that teach healthy cooking demonstrations, good nutrition habits for young children, and fitness ideas for parents and children. Each session also provides a bags of food for each family to take home and try the food and recipe that was taught during class. Nutrition Matters, now in its fourth year, is made possible by a generous grant from the Turrell Fund.
