Try This First

At Marietta and Beyond, we care about you and the children in Marietta and beyond. Often in conversations, I hear people expressing how difficult it is to find healthy options when out and about, and how it is challenging to make changes their doctors have recommended. We want to provide you with a guide to resources you can use, and program invitations that might help. 

As part of the ongoing promotion of healthy options in food, lifestyle choices and health awareness and teachings, we are promoting Try This First. The next event is on Saturday, February 15. A free healthy meal is provided at 12:30 and the speaker begins around 1:00 p.m.

These will be held on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays through the month of May. 

Food is paid for by the Marietta Seventh-day Adventist Church and prepared at no cost by the Healing Chef.  Donations are accepted but not required. All speakers are presenting free of charge and are not receiving donations.
