5 Reasons Food Brings Families Together
September is the beginning of the school year, a month that gets overloaded with afterschool sports and homework, and other activities. Through all of this, September is also National Family Meals Month. At EATS, we believe that Family Meals Month can be celebrated year-round. We’ve put together a series of videos about the connection folks feel to food and the importance of family meals. Check out the videos below to see how food brings our community together at dinnertime and beyond.
Growing food creates memories through sowing seeds and teaches important lessons about nurturing ourselves.
Making food together creates traditions that can be practiced for years to come.
Food is a universal language that bridges gaps between generations.
Food brings people together over life milestones and holidays.
Food sparks conversation which wouldn’t otherwise happen.
