Community Spotlight:

Zero Breast Cancer helps individuals and communities understand scientific research on environmental risk factors and lifestyle variables that influence breast cancers. They focus on factors that an individual can change to prevent breast cancer initially, as well as recurrences: stress management, physical activity, nutrition and health, and breast feeding to mention a few. Last week our volunteer Mary W picked up almost 400 lbs of excess healthy food from their Annual Dipsea Hike!
