Nutrition Education & Links
Free Nutrition Classes and Group Education Sessions
MANNA's mission to nourish at risk individuals with life threatening illnesses is some times best served by nurturing their minds. The MANNA nutrition department offers free classes, cooking demonstrations, and tasting sessions to help our clients better understand how to sustain a well nourished body. There is often research published and promoted regarding nutrition that can be very confusing. The dietitians at MANNA help our clients decipher what all the messages mean, and how to best put these practices into use in our client’s homes.
Through our relationships and collaboration with other agencies in the area, MANNA's dietitians have provided guidance to help those coping with the HIV virus, cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses. These group classes stress nutrition tips to prevent recurrence of an illness or symptom, or promote lifestyle changes to prevent other chronic diseases.
