Down East Partnership for Children (DEPC)

DEPC does two primary initiatives with RMHA's residential nutritional efforts. They hold on-site Senior Nutritional Classes for our residents utilizing their Food Smart curriculum. These classes are held in three-session increments over a three-week period. Seniors cook pre-planned entrées, receive healthy eating tips, and win kitchen gadgets and small appliances at the end of the sessions.

DEPC also provides our residential gardens with spring and fall seeds and plantings, as well as garden materials and supplies.
