What can you do to help children develop a healthy lifestyle from a young age?

As a parent of children aged 3-18, sign them up for our FREE weekly one hour workshop Real Kids Real Food or help spread the word. The program runs Saturdays from September 26 through to November 21, from 11AM-12PM EST. The workshops are designed to help kids experience how to plant their own veggies, prepare delicious recipes, learn nutritional facts, engage in fun & enriching activities, make friends, and practice mindfulness. The teenage program focuses on discussion and taking action re Climate Justice and nutrition.

Since our successful health program was founded in 2008, Real Kids Real Food has received the Humanitarian Service Award for our work helping inner city kids develop healthy lifestyles. For families facing food insecurity, the ingredients used for the recipes prepared in our Saturday workshop each week are delivered to their homes through Amazon Fresh at no cost to the family. This program is open to all children. See attached flyers for more information and enroll your children at www.realkidsrealfood.org. For any questions, please call Betsy Bragg at 617-835-2913 or email betsy.bragg@icloud.com.
