Farmer’s Market Fun
One of the best places to get fresh, healthy food is from a local farmer’s market. Familiarizing yourself or others with the local produce and market locations in your area is a fun way to explore new foods and your town. In Allen County, HEAL Farm Markets double the value of SNAP purchases, and Senior and WIC produce vouchers. Check https://sjchf.org/programs/heal/markets/ for the market schedule.
Start Moving More!
When it comes to caring for our physical and mental well-being, eating right and staying active go hand in hand. The health benefits of daily exercise can be truly life-changing. Engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity for as little as 30 minutes can increase energy levels, improve mood and sleep quality, and improve metabolism.
