The leaders friendly and open demeanor was really helpful in allowing me to ask questions because I am usually very shy. I can't believe all the resources I was unaware of and now I plan on taking full advantage of everything at my disposal. Thank you so much!”“This was awesome! I could stay here asking questions all day!”

I always get overwhelmed with figuring out what is good versus what is not so now I understand better.”“I'm glad that I can make a better decision upon grocery shopping and excited to try some of the new recipes from the Cooking Connection. I will sign up for another grocery tour so that I can think of more questions to make a healthier meal.”
