Buckingham: Healthy Food for Seniors

Food ForwardIn an effort to assist residents with their food needs, EngAGE has partnered with Food Forward, a nonprofit that provides fresh fruits and vegetables to needy families across Los Angeles. For Buckingham residents, the food comes from the Brentwood Farmers Market and it is distributed once a month.

Buckingham residents can also enjoy a Healthy Eating Workshop once a week with instructor Theresa Jones. Easy, healthy, and light are the ingredients for this nutritional presentation and demonstration. A recent workshop featured Chicken Caesar Salad, Fresh Cornbread, and Chili Beans. The topic of the month was: How to make healthy foods taste delicious.
