Neepawa Eats Healthy officially kicked off its latest initiative late last week. Representatives of the health group gathered at Neepawa Safeway and the Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op food store for the launch of its Meal in 30 program. The program provides customers with a recipe card for free each month at those locations, indicating all the ingredients necessary and associated instructions.

“For [the Neepawa and Community Ministries Centre], it just makes sense to be a part of this initiative and to encourage people that food can be easy, cheap, fun, fast and that a great meal can be made in less than 40 minutes. And affordably,” said Amanda Naughton-Gale, NCMC’s director of ministries and Meal in 30 program partner.

Norma Holmes, senior manager of human relations for HyLife, which is also a program partner, added on behalf of the manufacturer, “We thought it was a really good initiative and that we could provide our employees and the wider community with some delicious tips and tricks.”
