Better Nutrition. Better Health. Stronger Families. Stronger Communities.
Friday, December 1, 2017
New Brighton Community Center
8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Minnesota Council on Family Relations is addressing a topic that impacts everyone -
what we feed our families; how we make food sustainable for all; and the impact of
food on learning, growing, behaving, and becoming individuals, families, and
communities that nurture growth. We live in a nation that is experiencing significant
reversals in nutrition, health, family wellbeing, and community vitality and we are having the same impact on our global community. Now is the time to confront this important topic in order to make a difference in the health of our families and our communities. Join us for inspiring, empowering, and research-based presentations that equip all of us.
