Every Wednesday, Elizabethport Community Center seniors come together for our Nutrition Program, proudly supported by the City of Elizabeth NJ - City Hall🍎🥦

This program provides an opportunity for older adults to learn more about healthy eating, nutrition, and making healthy lifestyle choices, while also connecting with one another in a welcoming community environment. 🤝💚

From learning about the benefits of different fruits and vegetables to sharing ideas, recipes, and healthy habits, our Wednesdays are all about wellness, connection, and learning together! 🌿

Prevention Links is grateful to the City of Elizabeth for supporting initiatives that promote the health and well-being of our older adult community. 💜

Throughout August, community members had the opportunity to collect a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, including:🍅 Tomatoes,🌶️ A variety of peppers,🌿 Fresh herbs and spices,🍎 Apples,🎃 Squash, 🫜 Beets. And, of course, one of the most beautiful highlights of the Elizabethport Community Center garden this month has been our sunflowers! 🌻 Some have grown to an incredible 12 feet tall, bringing so much color and beauty to our community space.

The garden is more than a place to grow food—it is a space that promotes healthy choices, community connection, and wellness. 🌱💚 Prevention Links is proud to continue growing and sharing with our Elizabethport community!
