“Perfect for grandparents; drop them off early to grab a seat near the front.”
Strength On Your Plate is a free educational workshop focused on simple and affordable ways for older adults to increase their daily protein intake. This program is designed specifically for adults aged 60 and older, making it a perfect outing to recommend to grandparents. The session takes place in the meeting room at the Richard B. Harrison Community Library in Raleigh, which offers free on-site parking and accessible entry. You do not need to bring any supplies, but a notebook for jotting down recipe ideas is helpful. It is a highly practical weekday event that helps local seniors maintain their physical strength and independence. Supporting the older generation in our community is a wonderful way to encourage healthy aging and keep our families thriving.

A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
