ST. LOUIS — Affinia Healthcare will hold a “Food is Medicine” community program Wednesday in north St. Louis with screenings, food demonstrations and practical nutrition resources for local residents.
The event is scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at Affinia’s North Florissant health center, 4414 N. Florissant Ave. The program flyer says activities will include health screenings, cooking demonstrations, information about gardening’s health benefits and a recipe-ready food bag.
Participants may also receive a $25 Schnucks gift card while supplies last. Advance registration is required because space is limited. Affinia directs residents to call 314-814-8651 or email communitysupport@affiniahealthcare.org to register.
The program creates a local health-access opportunity by combining basic screening with food preparation and grocery support at a community health center. It also gives residents a specific time, location and contact method rather than offering only general nutrition advice.
People considering attendance should register before traveling and ask whether any screening has eligibility, privacy or preparation requirements. The event page does not promise that gift cards will be available to every attendee.
Event details and the official flyer are available from Affinia Healthcare.
