Grocer to hold Saturday nutrition event
Winston-Salem-based Lowes Foods will host nutrition education programs at all its stores Saturday to launch the 11th year of the company's "Be A Smart Shopper" program.
The program focuses on teaching children ages 4 to 12 to make healthful food and drink choices. Saturday's kickoff event, which will include food samples and tips on healthful eating, will center on buying breakfast foods and eating breakfast daily - with an emphasis on "natural" foods. (The program is sponsored by Kellogg's this year, though Lowes has partnered with a number of other groups, including the state agriculture department and the American Heart Association.)
Every participating student will receive materials to take home, including a 28-page booklet with breakfast recipes for kids and tips for parents.
Saturday's event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at area stores, including two locations in Greensboro, four in Winston-Salem and one in High Point. To schedule a store tour for a class or group, head over here or call (800) 987-6409. The program is free for all children's groups in the target age bracket, including school and at-home classes, after-school groups and clubs.
