Soup Season
While dropping off the items collected during October for Reconciliation House, director John Miller shared how it was getting harder to keep food stocked. Instead of a general food drive, throughout the month we'll be collecting ingredients to make a hearty vegetable soup. Local 4-Hers will assemble individual meal kits for families and donate them to Reconciliation House for distribution.

Eat Smart, Move More Challenge
November kicks off the holiday season with Thanksgiving celebrations, followed by what feels like a constant month of eating during the month of December. If you are determined to maintain, not gain during this time, join us for the The Holiday Challenge. The challenge runs through November 14th - December 31st, and registration is free. Participants can engage as much or as little as they would like to, as all resources are sent to their email and available online.
