News & Events:
Currently, we are working with Mr. Mark Jacobs, founder of the non-profit organization, YXPlosion. Recently, he has placed us in charge of health education. Our responsibilites include providing simple healthy recipes, aiding the kitchen staff in preparing meals, and prepping food bags for the members in need . In the meantime, we are also surveying those that attend YXPlosion's events to see if there is a need in the community for free, dietary care as diet is a crucial reason of chronic illness occurances in America. We want to be able to use our findings to recruit dieticians and physicians in the future.
