In honor of National Nutrition Month, the Historical Society of Princeton is partnering with Whole Earth Center to present a family program on healthy eating.
Whole Earth’s customer service manager Bill Moran is set to present The Basics of Healthy Eating for You and Your Family at Updike Farmstead. His presentation includes tips on planning a healthy diet for the whole family.
Children can sit in on the program or participate in activities centered around the theme of healthy eating, including word games and a decorating their own Food Plate.
In addition to the program, Whole Earth is offering a special coupon for customers who attend the program; $5 off a $25 purchase for OnePrinceton cardholders, and $2.50 off $25 for those without a card.
OnePrinceton links directly to the cardholder’s checking or savings account and works like a debit card to pay at participating local businesses. When patrons pay with OnePrinceton, 1 percent of every transaction goes to the local non-profit organization — including the Historical Society of Princeton— of their choice.
Following the program, families are invited to work together on an indoor/outdoor scavenger hunt that promotes physical activity.
The Historical Society of Princeton is an official Let’s Move Museum, part of First Lady Michelle Obama’s initiative dedicated to solving the challenge of childhood obesity within a generation and to “raise a healthier generation of kids.”
Visitors are also encouraged to bring a nutritious canned good or boxed cereal to be donated to HomeFront.
The program is scheduled for 12:15 p.m. March 1 at Updike Farmstead, 354 Quaker Road, Princeton.
