‘Shop Healthy’ Tours led by the Fort Greene / Clinton Hill Community Food Council

Join the Fort Greene / Clinton Hill Community Food Council this Sunday, 1/12/14 at Red Apple Supermarket (Myrtle/Navy) for a “Shop Healthy” tour and conversation.  In partnership with students and faculty within the Nursing Department at  St. Joseph’s College Council members have been trained to teach shoppers how to read nutrition labels, understand unit pricing and the benefits of buying fresh, whole products verses canned and prepared foods. By sharing personal food stories and discussing ways that shoppers can add more healthy food items to their list (even on tight budgets!) the Council has created a rewarding and educational initiative for all involved.

Watch for the Council at Red Apple every first Sunday starting February 2014! Want a tour at a store closer to your home? Contact us, we’ll work with you to arrange a time a date.
