Illinois: Friendship Village Wellness Fair


Friendship Village hosted a Wellness Fair featuring a display from Dining Services highlighting Guess the Grains interactive display where residents and community members learned about different whole grains, such as Freekeh, Millet, Spelt berries, and Farro. Chef Rob Campbell created a Mango Lemongrass Cilantro infused water, a huge hit at the fair for over 400 attendees and 50 vendors! Clinical Nutrition Manager, Megan Peters, educated attendees about the health benefits of whole grains and how to incorporate grains into a healthy diet regimen. Dining Services also used this opportunity to communicate the introduction of these new grains to be provided at different dining venues in the future.
