💚 Today is National Day of Encouragement!💚

Sometimes, a few kind words can make a bigger difference than we realize.

Whether you're going through a difficult season, working toward a goal, helping a neighbor, or simply doing your best to make it through the day - we want to remind you to keep going. We see you. You are stronger than you think, and you don't have to do everything alone. 🤝

At the Arlington Community Food Bank, we get to see the power of encouragement and community every single day - neighbors helping neighbors, volunteers showing up for others, and people coming together to make sure everyone has food on the table.

Today, take a moment to encourage someone around you. A kind word, a smile, or a simple, "You've got this!" might be exactly what someone needs to hear.

Encouragement feeds hope. Kindness feeds community.

Let's talk about kohlrabi!

The word "kohlrabi" is German for "cabbage turnip". Unlike a turnip, kohlrabi is not a root vegetable, it grows above the ground. It's a brassica, which means it's more like cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower.

You can eat kohlrabi raw or cooked, and it tastes almost like a broccoli stalk, just a tad sweeter. You can shred it and use it in coleslaw, or simply remove the tough outer layer, slice it up, and eat it 😀

It might look a little unusual, but don't let that stop you! Kohlrabi is crunchy, versatile, and easier to use than you might think...plus, it's delicious!

Have you ever tried kohlrabi before? What's your favorite way to eat it?
