The Family & Youth Services Bureau strives to strengthen families in Porter County. Through a wonderful grant opportunity, we are having a Family Life Series Workshop which addresses various topics related to families. All workshops are FREE and open to anyone!
Our upcoming workshop entitled “Label Ease Presentation” is being held on May 17th, 2011 from 6 to 8 pm at our Valparaiso Office. This workshop will offer information about identifying and becoming familiar with the nutrition facts label required on food packages to help make wise food choices that promote good health. This program will help participants become wise food shoppers and teach them how to look beyond the front of food packages. This presentation will also teach participants to what nutrients to look for on food labels. This month’s presenter is Rita Patterson. Ms. Patterson received her BA in communications from Western KY University. Ms. Patterson has been a Family Nutrition Program Assistance with the Purdue Extension Service for the past seven years. Ms. Patterson provides services for individuals, one-on-one and as groups throughout the community. Ms. Patterson serves the southern part of Porter County.
This program is made possible through a grant from the Indiana Department of Child Services. If you are interested in attending this workshop and want to register or if you want information on other monthly topics, please contact us at (219) 464-9585 or (219)763-6623
