Schnuck Markets' Tour Event Day Health and Wellness
Event Description:
Operation Food Search (OFS), a non-profit hunger relief organization, will hold a Cooking Matters at the Store® Tour Event Day. The 20-minute self-guided interactive grocery store tour shows local families and individuals how to make healthy, affordable shopping choices.

The tour is part of OFS’ celebration of National Nutrition Month®, which is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will offer tours of the supermarket’s produce, bakery, meat, and dairy departments. Participants will observe a live cooking demonstration to help them learn how to prepare and cook nutritious meals at home. Schnuck Markets will feature various food sampling stations for customers that introduce healthy, family-friendly meal choices. The first 150 participants will receive a $10 grocery gift card upon tour completion.

Founded in 1981, Operation Food Search (OFS) is a hunger relief organization that provides food and nutrition education. With a strategic focus aimed at ending childhood hunger, OFS empowers families with a range of programs and services proven to reduce food insecurity and increase access to healthy and affordable food. The agency helps feed more than 200,000 individuals on a monthly basis – one-third of which are children – through a network of 330 community partners in 31 Missouri and Illinois counties.

Operation Food Search is seeking tour volunteers. For more information, call (314) 726-5355 or visit http://www.OperationFoodSearch.org.
