Event Ideas to Involve a Grocery Store or Supermarket
Grocery Store or Supermarket
- Work with a local grocery store to promote NNM with posters and handouts.
- Conduct supermarket tours to provide label reading opportunities and information about healthy food choices. Offer a special tour for kids focused on selecting healthy snacks. Provide "25 Healthy Snacks for Kids" NNM brochures and copies of selected NNM activity sheets.
- Set up a "nutrition station" staffed by registered dietitians who answer questions on nutrition.
- Ask local store manager to run NNM audio PSAs in the store during March. (Coming soon!)
