A free diabetes screening was held today(9/27/2016) at the St. Francis of Assisi Food Pantry. The screening was held in conjunction with a new food program aimed at helping clients better manage diabetes. Clients testing positive for diabetes at the screening will now have access to a special diet provided through the cooperation of the Commission On Economic Opportunity and the Weinberg Food Bank. Shown providing the tests at today’s screening are Jelene Hall, a student at the McCann School of Business and Technology, and Oadie Alsaleh, a graduate of The Commonwealth Medical College. Also shown are clients John Marazio and and Lori Delong.
Lunch is served seven days per week from 11 a.m. to 12 noon.
