Southern Recipe partners with St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund to drive down diabetes
Pork rind brand supports St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund with CDC-approved diabetes prevention program.
Southern Recipe is showing its support and care for truck drivers everywhere by teaming up with one of America’s most active truck driver support initiatives, St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund (SCF). The charity’s “Driving Down Diabetes” initiative is a national attempt to help our highway’s unsung heroes reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes. Everybody deserves to feel both safe and healthy, whether on the road or in their homes. With the help of this year-long, CDC-approved program and Southern Recipe’s support, SCF will not only help those at risk significantly reduce their chances of developing type 2 diabetes, but also help them regain a sense of comfort—physically and mentally.
Beginning February 1st, SCF’s free Diabetes Prevention Program, “Driving Down Diabetes,” will be more than just a self-help program. It will be an opportunity for drivers to connect and keep their health top of mind for the long-haul. Those who participate in “Driving Down Diabetes” will meet weekly in the first four months, bi-weekly in the following two months and monthly in the last six months. Curriculum throughout the year will be led by a lifestyle coach specially trained to lead the program and will include live webinars focusing on nutrition, exercise and stress management.
