Stop & Shop supporting healthier living
Stop & Shop recently demonstrated its commitment to supporting healthier living with its third annual Community Health and Wellness Fair.
Held at Stop & Shop’s Grove Hall store in Boston, this location has a dedicated in-store dietitian and community wellness space built to host nutrition, financial wellness and physical activity programs, all at no cost to the community.
The event featured locally based businesses and organizations covering various health and wellness categories. The day consisted of activities including kids' entertainment, nutrition education and “healthy eating on a budget” supermarket tours. Attendees benefited from health screenings, giveaways and movement clinics with Black Girls Run, an organization dedicated to fostering a community of inclusion and unity and helping to improve health outcomes.
The event embodied Stop & Shop’s broader mission to educate and empower customers and their families to make healthier food choices and lead healthier lives. Specific activities and resources aimed at educating and inspiring attendees included nutrition education and resources by Stop & Shop registered dietitians.
Overall, the successful event was attended by nearly 350 participants. “We wanted to create an event that connects our neighbors with the right wrap-around healthcare services that fit their health and wellness needs,” said Christine Sinclair, registered dietician, Stop & Shop Nutrition Partner at Grove Hall. “Our goal is to provide tangible resources to the community that will empower people on their journey to better health.”
