It's Heart Health Month:
Regenerate and Educate
February is the perfect time to learn about your risk for heart disease and the steps you can take to keep your heart healthy. Heart disease - and the conditions that lead to it - can happen at any age.
In recognition of Heart Health Month and the importance of cardiovascular health, Frisco Family Services Food Pantry is providing clients healthy recipes along with Red Bags containing heart healthy items. Thanks to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Centennial, we are providing wrist blood pressure monitors to clients who need them. Together with fresh produce, healthy recipes and partners like BSW Centennial, we make sure to show our community we CARE.
