Samaritas Health Fair

The Samaritas Health Fair was held in Saginaw, MI this past week.  100 children received a free pair of new shoes and over 50 children got a backpack full of school supplies.

Morrison Community Living provided a Kale salad, protein bites and Strawberry Lemonade made by Chef Angela Leman.  Trisha Ohlsen, RD, spoke with kids and parents about healthy eating options and even had a few children trying the Kale salad complete with beets!
