The Lawrence County Nutrition Education Program (NEP) Senior Assistant partnered with the Fallsburg Elementary School Family Resource Center to provide the Healthy Choices for Every Body nutrition program for parents and/or guardians of the children in the angel tree program. The participants engage in the classes for the children to receive food baskets and gifts for the Holidays.
