Building Blocks is back on November 7!
This one’s for the parents, grandparents, daycare providers and anyone else caring for an infant.

Infants around 12 months or younger are welcome!

Feeling lost in the grocery aisle?
Navigating Nutrition may be your way out! Be sure to catch our last session of the year, on Thursday, December 10, taking a look at health around the holidays.
Seeding Farm to School
We’re working to cultivate a positive connection to food, food systems and nutrition so that young people in our community can develop the habits that help them grow into adults that thrive. Our current work is with Houghton Elementary, where we’re aiming to identify, coordinate, and form processes, systems, and partnerships that help create a more sustainable program, with the long-term goal to expand to schools across the Copper Country.
Contact Emily Reisch Earll at erearll@coppershores.org or 1 (906) 523-5920 ext. 2082, if you’d like to learn more or would like to collaborate on this type of work!

Look out for Healthy Habits in January
We’ve all made a New Year’s resolution that didn’t make it out of January. Change things in 2027 at Healthy Habits, with help from local healthcare professionals offering insight on practical, manageable and meaningful ways to implement healthy habits that you can start at any time - not just at the beginning of each year.
That's it for this quarter. If you have information you want included next time, email mbabcock@coppershores.org. More importantly, thanks for being part of this community's blossoming food culture!
