*PLEASE NOTE THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN CANCELLED. THANK YOU.

The Hampstead Public Library is partnering with the St. Anne Food Pantry to present a four-week hands on educational course created by Better Health to teach participants how to cook healthier meals on a budget. Classes will be led by Jim Carey of the St. Anne Food Pantry and will be three weeks of lectures/videos at the library and one week of hands-on kitchen experience that will take place off-site at the Food Pantry (26 Emerson Avenue, Hampstead). This series has multiple components: a nutrition topic, a physical activity discussion, and a CREATE recipe demonstration and sample. These are all woven together to keep participants engaged, while actively learning the skills needed to create a healthier lifestyle.

There are only 12 spots available, and when participants sign up for the first session on Wednesday, September 18th they will be automatically added to the additional three programs in the series that take place on the following days (so please be sure you are able to commit to all four): 

Wednesday, September 18th, 6pm - 8pm

Wednesday, October 2nd, 6pm - 8pm

Wednesday, October 9th, 6pm-8pm (*at the food pantry)
