EAT WELL, WORK WELL

Please join your co-workers in committing to “Eat Well, Work Well.” A large part of creating a culture of health and well-being in the workplace, is encouraging healthy food and beverage choices. This includes simply choosing water over sweetened drinks, and choosing to pack a lunch instead of eating out (or ordering in).
Each month there will be a specific "healthier eating" challenge. Challenges will focus on a variety of food and beverage topics. While an individual can complete the challenges on his/her own, we do encourage co-workers to participate together. Having partners for accountability is more fun, and will lead to higher success.

“I feel like I’m picking fresh vegetables from my garden all winter long,” Sharon Ward, Jefferson.
“I was so excited to be able to host a Thanksgiving dinner using only Hungry Harvest produce! I dressed my turkey with onions, garlic and carrots and made two veggie side dishes sautéed Brussels sprouts and roasted broccoli and zucchini. Knowing that a family in need was also sharing the same meal thanks to Hungry Harvest made Thanksgiving extra special this year for my family.” Karen Heinrich, Jefferson.
