In our ongoing effort to feed our neighbors the best and healthiest food, the crack staff on NNEMAP’s recently christened Wellness & Nutrition Committee came up with some helpful tips and tricks. These handy signs offer shopping, preparation and meal-time tips to our shoppers (and our volunteers and staff members!).

Next time you are visiting NNEMAP, sneak a peak at that helpful little label hanging on the shelf. You might learn something new and take home a good idea for dinner!
