Here's to our Health!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the Community Connections blog!

In addition to all of our community service work, this week we are focusing on our personal health. We had a nutritionist from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation come and present a lecture on health and nutrition.

The presentation was very informative. We learned about correct portion size, healthy eating habits and fun ways to exercise. The nutritionist even brought food models to show us what types of foods are healthy.

Everyone asked good questions and learned a lot from the lecture. It was especially helpful to learn about how much sugar is in soda and other drinks. We all set goals so that we can work on getting healthier.

In addition to our educational program, we continue to add new partnerships to our list of work sites. We are now helping the Mother's Milk Bank in San Jose and Deer Hollow Farms in Los Altos in addition to our over thirty volunteer locations.

It should be an exciting summer as we gear up to work at several other new sites.

Thanks for reading!
