The SNAP-Ed Program under the University of Guam Land Grant Extension Service invites community members who are at least 18 years old to participate in a free nutrition education workshop series, “Eat, Hydrate, and Feel Great.”
This four-class series is designed to help adults build practical skills for healthier everyday living through small, achievable changes in grocery shopping, meal planning, and daily routines, UOG said in a media release.
Each class will feature a light and fresh summer-themed recipe.
Community members may register for one of two class schedules:
10 to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays, May 6 to 273:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Mondays, May 4 to June 1
All sessions will be held in the Agriculture and Life Sciences Building, Room 125, at UOG.
Under the leadership of UOG Land Grant’s registered dietitian nutritionist and SNAP-Ed coordinator, Lenora Matanane, SNAP-Ed educators Dianne Sardon, Katrina Nguyen, Niza Mian, and Ella Macatugal will deliver interactive lessons covering:
