Older metro Atlanta residents can learn how to shop and eat healthy on a budget at a workshop on Sept. 12 at Peachtree Christian Church in East Point.

The workshop, which begins at 11 a.m., is presented by Georgia State University nutrition students and the Fulton County Housing and Human Services Office of Aging’s East Point NORC – Naturally Occurring Retirement Community.

Topics include healthy eating, food budgets for singles and couples, maximizing leftovers, reducing food waste, and strategies for stretching your food dollar.

A healthy snack will be provided. The deadline to R.S.V.P. is Sept. 10.

East Point NORC is a collaboration of service agencies and organizations designed to reduce service fragmentation and create healthy, integrated communities where seniors living in Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities are able to age-in-place with greater comfort and security in their own homes.

Peachtree Christian Church is at 1706 Washington Road in East Point.

So would a young adult be turned away from this event?

Food budgeting is a useful skill for all ages to have, especially those trying to support themselves without having to ask their parents for help every 2 weeks.
