SUMMARY:Why Food Matters
DESCRIPTION:Why Food Matters\n\n\n\n\nMaintaining a healthy diet is essential for overall well-being at any age.

All sessions are FREE\, and held the second Wednesday of each month from 1:00 to 2:30 pm. \nSign Up – in Person \nSign Up – Virtual \n\nPresenter\nLiz Wing\, Chefs for Seniors \nOwner Liz Wing has called Washington\, DC home for more than 10 years.
