This National Nutrition Week we are celebrating the role of food in keeping us connected and nourished.

Food is a huge part of who we are. It is central to many traditions and helps us build connection with those around us.

Whether it’s through community gardens, farmers markets, community meals, food swap tables, sharing a meal with your neighbour or catching up with family and friends, there’s so many ways to stay connected and nourished.

Manna Gum Community House in Foster offer a range of food related programs and services such as community lunch, a produce swap trolley and the Manna Community Garden. Learn more here

Our lungs are designed to breathe in fresh air to power our minds and bodies.

When people are protected from the harms of smoking and vaping, it allows their lungs to do what they do best and keep them feeling well.

As a smoke and vape-free environment, we recognise the importance of creating an environment that promotes clean fresh air for the health and safety of our staff, patients and community.

Together we can protect the community from the harms of second-hand smoke and vapour, and support healthy lungs.

Quitline is a free and confidential support service available to help people of all ages to quit smoking or vaping. Click the link below to see the many ways you can get in touch with Quitline www.quit.org.au/ways-to-get-in-touch
