New Partnership: eat-a-rainbow
Women's Mountain Passages is very pleased to announce our new partnership with the Quincy Natural Foods Cooperative's Eat-A-Rainbow program. Through this new partnership, Passages and QNFC offer local elementary school classes an opportunity to participate in activities that promote a healthy and colorful diet. Our goal is to introduce children to the benefits of fresh, local, unfamiliar, and seasonal produce, and the goodness of eating whole grains. We offer a variety of multisensory activities including bread making, fruit salad making, and veggie/grain salad making.
Eat-A-Rainbow compliments our Digging In program by building on the garden-based foundation to explore nutrition and healthy eating through classroom lessons and store visits. Together we strive to build healthy children, healthy habits, and sustainable agricultural systems.
