What We Do
-
One-on-One Nutrition Appointments
SNACK staff provide one-on-one nutrition lessons to participants and their families/caregivers at our main program office at Physicians’ Medical Center, as well as at our satellite office at Sunrise Family Clinic. Each appointment is an opportunity to learn about a nutrition topic, discuss healthy habits and practice goal-setting.
-
Group Nutrition Classes
SNACK offers the same Nutrition Education curriculum from our one-on-one appointments in a group class setting, both in the classroom and in the kitchen. Group classes are cohort style, with the same group of kids completing the weekly classes together. Class length varies by age group, but you can expect a series of 3-5 weekly classes.
-
Wellness Activities
SNACK partners with community organizations to host wellness activities such as gardening classes, day hikes, soccer camps, and yoga classes. Our Events Calendar is regularly updated with opportunities for participants to engage in physical activity, learn about healthy habits, and have fun.
