The Puget Sound Kidney Center put on free cooking demonstrations, and Medical Teams International provided free dental exams and oral health supplies. In addition, the Lynnwood Food Bank supplied free fresh fruits and vegetables, while nutritionists from Sound Dietitians offered dietary information for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
