💡 DID YOU KNOW? The % Daily Value (%DV) on a Nutrition Facts label is a quick way to tell whether a serving of food is high or low in a particular nutrient!

🔎 Here's a handy trick:
🥕 5% Daily Value or less is considered LOW.
🥕 20% Daily Value or more is considered HIGH.

But what does that mean when you're comparing foods at the grocery store? And what else can those little labels tell you? 🤔

🥗 Get the Facts!

Join the Rhode Island Community Food Bank's Nutrition Education Team at Peace Dale Library for a FREE workshop all about understanding Nutrition Facts labels and making informed food choices.

You'll learn how to read and understand food labels, enjoy a cooking demonstration, and take home new knowledge, recipes, and incentives!

🚜 **BEEP BEEP! HONK HONK! What a TRUCK-tastic morning!** 🚛 🚒

Our little truck enthusiasts had a BIG adventure at the South Kingstown Highway Division on Wednesday, October 21, for a special **Touch-a-Truck Storytime!**

Families enjoyed truck-themed stories, songs, and action rhymes before getting an up-close look at some seriously impressive vehicles! 🚧 Children had the chance to explore the trucks, climb aboard, and meet the hardworking crew who help keep our town running.

💛 A **HUGE thank you to the South Kingstown Highway Division** for welcoming us, showing off your amazing equipment, and making this such a fun and memorable experience for our youngest community members! We appreciate everything you do for South Kingstown, both on and off the road!

📸 Check out some photos from our morning of big trucks, little drivers, and lots of excitement!
