On Monday, July 28, we had the chance to connect with kids and their parents about nutrition and mental health. We started in a booth displaying sugar in common snacking products. It was pretty interesting to see how many youth and adults were surprised at the nutrition facts of items that many of us have in our pantries. 

Then, we had a session with the kids. They had amazing questions and were especially interested in the amount of sugar in different products. It was amazing how, even though many of them were in kindergarten, they were already learning about nutrition and building good food habits. We are very grateful to the YMCA coordinators for giving us this chance, and we hope to come back!
