For the second consecutive year, State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Woodhaven) is set to host a diabetes awareness workshop.

The event will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church, located at 101-41 91st St. in Ozone Park.

Attendees will experience a live cooking demonstration, featuring diabetes-friendly recipes that can be easily recreated at home. Nutritional insights and practical tips for managing diabetes will also be provided. Additionally, guests will learn about sustainable farming and how to grow their own fresh fruits and vegetables. There will also be light exercises to meet diabetic needs and further promote a healthier lifestyle.
