I am hosting a Family Wellness Night this Wednesday evening at our school. We are expecting about 100 people- adults and kids. Our local Whole Foods have me a $100 gift card as an in-kind donation. We are serving light snacks. So far I already have:
Water bottles
Plates/forks/napkins
Sliced green peppers
String cheese
We always have a TON of left-over fresh fruit from breakfast and lunch (likely apples and oranges this week) so we will put those out as well.
Should I just get hummus, a couple different creamy dips and maybe some whole wheat pita bread? Pretzels? I know $100 doesn't go far at Whole Foods. Needs to be nut free, snack food, healthy...
Specializes in Pediatrics, Community Health, School Health.
What do you do in Family Wellness Night? It sounds like a good idea!
Families are coming tonight for a 90 minute presentation/activities pertaining to health and wellness. I have "stations" set up on the following: Dental health, Infection control, Home Safety, Maintaining an active lifestyle, Healthy Snacks, Sugar in drinks and snacks, and a few others. We also have someone doing a Zumba class and a Yoga class, active games for the kids in the gym, and serving healthy snacks...
I made all the tri-folds and collected donations from local dental practices to give out freebies to the families.
Basket of whole pieces of fruits: bananas, oranges, apples. They also have catering and can do bagel cream cheese trays and breakfast foods like half muffins/croissants/breads, not sure if that will keep you in budget. I agree with other person about no dipping, at least not in this setting. Honestly fruit, string cheese and water sounds like enough.
