Meet
Colin – Our New Mobile Pantry Supervisor!
We’re
excited to welcome Colin Fitzgerald to the FBR team. He holds a Bachelors in Communications from
St. John’s University and brings experience as a former Assistant
Superintendent at Meridian Golf Club and Server at Lodo’s Bar and Grill. Colin
is a familiar face for some at FBR who worked with him when he interned a few
years ago with our volunteer and development teams.
Colin enjoys spending time with his family and
friends, hiking, skiing and golfing. If he could go to any destination it would
be Belize to experience the beautiful scenery and unique culture.
If he were and animal, Colin chooses an otter because
they are friendly, playful, and resourceful.
Nutrition Labels are Full
of Important Info
Did you know the nutrition labels you find on most
products are broken into five important sections?
- Check
out the serving size and servings per container.
- Find
out how many calories are in a serving.
- Learn
about the nutrients (fats, sugars, carbohydrates, sodium, cholesterol and
protein).
- Discover
what vitamins are in the serving.
- Read
the footnotes to understand how a serving relates to your daily food intake.
Next time you pick up your favorite foods at the
grocery store, check the label to learn more about what you’re eating. Then
compare it to other items to see if it’s the best choice for you!
