New this fall at St. Barnabas!

Tai Chi combines slow, intentional movement with breathing and focus and can be a wonderful way to work on balance, flexibility, strength, and stress management.

One of the hardest things about food insecurity is that you can't always see it.

The person standing next to you at the grocery store.
The child sitting next to yours in school.
The coworker you see every day.

People experiencing food insecurity don't necessarily "look" like they're struggling.

Let's talk about it.

Join us September 12 at St. Barnabas for our **Food Insecurity Community Summit**.

Register here:

Join us for a free community summit exploring food insecurity and practical ways we can work together to help our neighbors.
