We all have busy lives and sometimes we don't make the best choices. But, having little time does not mean you need to resort to fast food.

Food is a connecting factor for many of us. Food connects us to our cultures, our families and our friends. Sharing a meal is an opportunity to learn about its preparation, who made it and where the ingredients were sourced. Health, memories, traditions, seasons and access can all impact our relationship with food. While these factors influence the foods we eat, the foods we eat also affect our health. Join us on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 at 10:00am (EDT) for this workshop on how "Food Connects Us". Register online at go.ncsu.edu/extensionathome

Get Organized with "Declutter Your Life"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's face it, most of us have at least one space (or several) that we'd like to have more organized. In fact, a recent survey about clutter found that 84 percent of Americans are concerned their home isn’t organized or clean enough. And more than half of them reported that it causes them stress. Tackling clutter can seem overwhelming and sometimes getting started is the hardest part. Join Jennifer Brown from the NC Cooperative Extension on Monday, March 31 at 10:00am at the South Granville Senior Center to learn some simple steps you can take to begin to tackle areas of clutter that may be bothering you. No guilt, just ideas!
