Being heart healthy starts in the kitchen and making healthy choices while grocery shopping. At Bluffton Self Help we strive to ensure our shelves are stocked with every food group – healthy non-perishables, meat, dairy, and fresh produce each and every week. With the rising costs of groceries, our neighbors are facing more difficult choices than ever, and many times that means choosing what they can afford over what is healthy.
Join Bluffton Self Help for the month of February in highlighting the importance of healthy choices by donating heart healthy food items to The Market. Here are some ideas:
- Whole Grain Cereals
- Whole Grain Granola Bars
- Bagged & Microwave Popcorn (low sodium)
- Canned Fruit in Lite Syrup
- Applesauce
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Dry Beans
- Low Sodium Hearty Soups & Broths
- Whole Grain Pastas & Rice Pouches
Finding healthier options when shopping is easier than you might think – just look for the Heart-Check mark on certified food and beverage products.
