Newton County recently hosted its first Cooking for Health event and the Newton County Boys & Girls Club hosted the event.

“Our partners and youth worked together to create the event, which had 8 stations,” Nakita Williams, NCBGC Director shared. “Each station prepared a healthy snack for Club members to learn how to make and sample. The snacks we prepared were smoothies, sandwich wraps, deviled eggs, humus, Rueben sandwiches, taco dip, and infused water.”

Nita Thompson and Nancy Schultz, both NCBGC board members helped serve at a station as well as NCBGC Youth of the Year, Miracle Gospel and Youth of the Year Ambassador, Devin Hill.

“At the end of the event members were able to go home with bags of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as copies of the recipes,” Williams shared. “The members really enjoyed the event.”
