A homecooked meal of rice and beans is not only satisfying to your tastebuds — it can be a healthy addition to your diet. A plate of beans and rice will give you important nutrients like carbs, protein and fiber. According to the American Heart Association, Beans + Rice = A Complete Protein for Global Nutrition.

To help families in our community get a well balanced meal with fiber and protein, Jenks Methodist is collecting rice and dried beans for their October food item. Bring the items to the Main Church office during the month of October. Dried beans include: pinto, navy, kidney, lima, butter, black, or great northern. Types of rice include: white, brown, jasmine, basmati, and wild rice.
