Nutrition Bingo
A program created to give adults in the community a chance to have fun, get to know each other, and win some prizes! The bingo we use is a new take on an old game so adults can learn nutritional facts while they play, and win some food for their household as well.
Community Kitchen
This program runs once every two weeks and is designed to help the adults of Marlene Street learn how to cook healthy meals, get to know one another, and take some food home as well! There are 6 spots for the program, and each individual will have their recipe cooked! Angela will buy all the ingredients, posts the recipe for everyone to see, and lets the facilitator of the day teach everyone how to cook the dish they have chosen. The program is a lot of fun, and always makes the centre smell delicious! The latest recipe is posted here so you can try it at home too!
