Town Hall Series Set For Veterans
The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) announced its Virtual Veteran Town Hall Series.

The first session will take place on Wednesday, March 16, and the topic will be “Veteran Suicide Prevention,” with a focus on the support and resources available to veterans throughout the commonwealth. The other topics and dates will be “Serving Older Veterans” on Wednesday, May 18; “Resources for Homeless Veterans” on Wednesday, July 13; “Transportation Issues Facing Veterans” on Wednesday, Sept. 14; and “Honoring Veterans for Their Service and Sacrifice” on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

Breakfast long has been touted as the most important meal of the day. After a good night’s rest, breakfast refuels the body and energizes it for the day ahead. However, hectic mornings compel many people to skip breakfast. Individuals can try the following tips to help them enjoy a healthy breakfast and still get to school or work on time.
Slow cookers are not just for dinner. Slow cookers can be used to cook a variety of breakfast foods, including oatmeal, eggs, or grits. Simply mix up the ingredients,

Macronutrient is the scientific term for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Nutritionists suggest mixing macronutrients in meals to get the most benefits from well-rounded meals. Individuals should aim for 20 grams of protein, 15 to 20 grams of fat, and about 50 grams of carbs, with at least five grams of fiber.
Another option is to develop a custom granola. Oats, nuts, and dried fruits can be mixed up to make a signature granola blend. It is easy to eat dry or with milk and makes a quick, healthy breakfast.
Individuals can embrace the no-cook overnight oatmeal method. Simply layer oats, Greek yogurt, applesauce or other fruit purees, cinnamon, and almond milk in a mason jar and place it in the refrigerator overnight. The oats will get tender without cooking, and the meal will be ready in the morning.
Smoothies are a tasty option. All the prep work for healthy vegetable- and fruitrich smoothies, including chopping and preparing the ingredients, can be done the night before. In the morning, the prepared ingredients can be blended with protein powder or oats and ice.
Breakfast burritos offer a portable option. Eggs can be scrambled in advance with diced peppers and onions and stored in containers in the refrigerator. In the morning, the mixture can be placed onto a tortilla, topped with cheese, and heated in a skillet or in the microwave.

Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful announced that registration is open for the 2022 Pick Up Pennsylvania, a community improvement initiative. A community improvement event may be registered from Tuesday, March 1, through Tuesday, May 31, and receive free trash bags, gloves, and safety vests provided by support from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and PennDOT, while supplies last. Events can include litter cleanups, illegal dump cleanups, community greening and beautification projects, special collections, and education events. Events must be registered to receive free cleanup supplies.
As part of this event, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association will sponsor trash disposal, free of charge or at a reduced rate, for registered program participants at participating landfills from Friday, April 1, through Saturday, April 30, with prior approval.
This spring, all Pennsylvanians are invited to clean up vacant lots, streets, and riverbanks; plant gardens and trees; or mulch a local playground. Through cleaning up litter and making small improvements to shared community spaces, like planting a tree or flowers or painting a community structure, the campaign aims to help create safer, healthier, and more livable neighborhoods.
To host an event, join a nearby event, or inquire about free supplies and trash disposal, visit www.keeppa beautiful.org or contact Michelle Dunn at 877-7723673, ext. 113, or mdunn@ keeppabeautiful.org.
