The Grand Isle County Clean Team

and Other Activities

Family Day
Whether you’re cooking a gourmet meal, ordering food from your favorite take-out place or eating on the go, rest assured that what your kids really want during dinnertime is YOU! Family meals are the perfect time to talk to your kids and to listen to what’s on their mind. The more often kids eat dinner with their families, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs.

GICCT supported this celebration by distributing Dinner in a Box kits. More info at casafamilyday.org
