The Heimerdinger Foundation prepares nutrient-rich meals for people fighting cancer and seeks to educate the community about proper nutrition. They are currently in need of volunteers for their Meals 4 Health & Healing program. Volunteers can help prepare meals in their kitchen, deliver meals to clients, and serve as client liaisons.
If you are interested in volunteering, contact Natisha Moultry at volunteer@hfmeals.org.

The cause is to provide nutrition education classes in public libraries in low income, minority areas of Memphis. By doing this, we hope to decrease the incidence of obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes among low income, minority residents of Memphis. The money will be used to purchase a portable teaching kitchen, food for cooking demos, handouts, and other supplies.
Please support Dr. Williams-Hooker and her colleagues by voting for her cause every day, 10 times for the next 10 days. Also, please share with everyone you know, as she needs at least 100,000 votes in 10 days.
