Serving Up Some Help!

Two times, for different age groups:
Grades K-2: 3:00 PM-3:45 PM
Grades 3-6: 4:00 PM - 4:45 PM
At this program, Girl Scout Everett Dalrymple will guide youth through some nutritious snack making and recipe searching! We will search the library collection for easy, healthy recipes to put into a book that will be distributed to users of the resource center. The kids can decorate their own piece of paper with the recipe on it. The recipes will include foods that the resource center has to offer. To end we will work together to make snacks with the kids that are yummy AND healthy.
After the program, Everett and the Girl Scouts will work to finish and share the book with the Resource Center, helping center clients learn new ways to use the food they access through it.
Registration is required for this one-time special community service activity. Please notify us of any food allergies when registering.
