This week, GRACE Community Clinic kicked off the 8 Week program “Viva Bien! Live Well with Diabetes” cooking classes with Tarrant Area Food Bank. With 18 individuals in this program, this free, innovative, and bilingual program is a series of eight weekly sessions with hands-on culinary demonstrations.
These hands-on courses are taught by nutrition and culinary instructors who volunteer to teach nutrition, cooking, food budgeting and shopping techniques. Additionally, participants are given cook books with a variety of healthy meals included to practice and perfect at home with their families. Exercise topics are also included to assist in better managing or preventing diabetes.
Tarrant Area Food Bank offers these courses in collaboration with Partner Agencies like GRACE and other community organizations that agree to host and promote courses to their clientele. Is excited for the impact this class will make and we look forward to educating the next round of graduates!
To register for these fun, hands-on classes, contact Nurse Manager Shirley Roberts at the GRACE Community Clinic for additional information: (817) 305-4681.
