Eating healthy can be difficult with fast food options on nearly every street. The Greene County Health Department aims to change that with a new initiative.

The program begins at Linton-Stockton High School on Saturday, August 23, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Participants will enjoy six weeks of live cooking demonstrations and receive healthy food boxes with produce from local vendors.
Additionally, participants will undergo A1C and other biometric screenings, with results compared at the program’s conclusion.
