- Fail
to Plan... Plan to Fail Eating healthy requires time and
preparation. When you are cooking for a small number you may
think, “why bother?” Let us show you how easy it can be to eat
healthy, on a budget and feel good about what you are eating.
There are so many Grab and Go items at the grocery store. We can
show you how to supplement these items with foods you have at home to
make a complete meal without all the time. We will sample a few of
these items and just maybe you will be able to prepare some at home
too. This class features menus, recipes and food
demos. Taught by Registered Dietician, Katie Marger.
Attend one or all classes. Free for those 60 and over; $10 (one time
fee) for those under 60. Register: 215-723-5841

The Support You Need:
Grief Support Group 1st Wednesday of each month 1:00 PMThe
Grief & Loss Support group has been a good time for many to just
meet and talk about the challenges which result from some of life’s
very hard transitions. We share, in a confidential way, responses
to these very significant life changes. Although the focus has
not been primarily upon “fixing,” there has been a real benefit from
expressing feelings and responding to each others thoughts and
experiences. No need to sign up; just show up.
Family Caregivers Group Held the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 10:00am
If
you are caring for an elderly or handicapped
individual, this group is for you! Each month, the group shares
ideas and learns
about available resources. The group is
facilitated by Terry Shomberg, RN, and Generations Social Work Intern Kim
Winton. Free, on-site respite care is offered for your loved one
at North Penn Visiting Nurses Adult Day Center
next door. Contact the Social Services
office at 215.723.1930. To reserve a
space for respite care during the meeting, call 215.703.0583
