Cook and Eat for Health

Friends of Foster Children of Palm Beach County is a local nonprofit organization whose mission is to transform the lives of children in foster care in Palm Beach County. The agency, a result of a mutual merger of two longtime Palm Beach County agencies (The Foster and Adoptive Parents Association and Friends of Abused Children) created the vision to nurture the lives of foster children in Palm Beach County and transform their lives through services, support and education in order to overcome the effects of child abuse and neglect, so they can experience a healthy, happy childhood and become productive members of society.

For the past two years, I have been able to donate toys, books and clothes to this foster care agency. As a mother, I want every child to have the same love and affection as mine do. I am blessed that I can provide for my own children but, I would like to do more for other children as well, By donating materials, foster kids will have the opportunity to feel important and the feeling that someone else cares for them.

In this school, I work with kids who are hard of hearing by helping them eat healthy and teach them importance of food and nutrition. By helping these adolescents, I am able to encourage those who are struggling with their body image to focus on eating nutritious food. This is very important to me because the health of our nation lies in the health of our future generations and they need to know the significance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
