VA Providence’s Healthy Teaching Kitchen program hosted “Healthy Eating Without Breaking the Bank,” a class focused on cost-effective ways to prepare nutritious meals.

Staff nutrition experts guided participants through budget-friendly shopping strategies and healthy cooking techniques to support overall wellness.

The class was part of VA Providence’s ongoing effort to equip Veterans with practical skills for maintaining a healthy diet on a budget. By combining education with hands-on demonstrations, the team empowered attendees to make informed choices that benefit both their health and their finances.

Thanks to VA Providence Dietitian Lynn Leclair for hosting this class for our Veterans and to Laura Jakubowski/Joanne Barrett for stopping by to visit the class!
