- Arrive at 4:30 PM to help cook the meal from scratch 

- Engage with families during dinner by sharing brief, evidence-based tips on nutrition, wellness, and chronic disease prevention (Dinner is self-served starting at 6:00 PM)

Joanna (or another AOA student leader) will send a confirmation email or text a few days before each dinner to confirm your participation and assign specific roles as needed.

This is an approved IPM service-learning opportunity and is open to all medical students, regardless of AOA membership. Join us to practice community-based service, apply our lifestyle medicine training in a real-world setting, and support families during a challenging time with warm meals and compassionate connection!
