Spring is blooming with new flavors, fun activities, and fresh faces at the Tarkio Nutrition Center and we can’t wait to share them with you! Mark your calendars for free fun bingo on Thursday, April 9 and April 23, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. – a perfect way to enjoy a little friendly competition while soaking up the spring sunshine. Our beloved Tuesday chef salads are back on the menu, but remember they are still pre‑order only. Be sure to place your order early to guarantee a crisp, tasty bite.

This month’s featured product is honey – the golden, all‑natural sweetener that adds a touch of sunshine to any dish. Bring in any honey item and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a special prize, making every visit a little sweeter. We’re also thrilled to introduce Peggy Evers, our new assistant cook, whose warm personality and culinary expertise are already adding extra flavor to our kitchen. Next time you stop by, be sure to say hello!

Please note that the center will be closed on Good Friday, April 3, giving the staff a moment to rest and reflect. Otherwise, the center is serving a delicious lunch Monday through Friday from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., featuring wholesome, home‑cooked meals that keep you energized for the day ahead.

The center staff hopes to see you soon – whether you’re playing a bingo game, sampling a fresh salad, or simply enjoying a tasty lunch. Here’s to a vibrant, healthy spring at the Tarkio Nutrition Center!
