Scans for Cans Campaign
We’re kicking off our Scans for Cans event on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at the Kearney Community Market from 7 AM to 12 PM!
Swing by for:
- A FREE InBody body composition scan
- A quick health risk assessment
- And all we ask in return is a non-perishable food donation to support the Kearney Food Pantry.
Bonus: Our amazing yoga instructor, Clarissa, will be leading TWO goat yoga sessions during the event!
It’s a simple, feel-good way to take charge of your health while giving back to your community. Let’s keep Kearney nourished—inside and out.
Can’t make it to the market?
No worries—we’ll also be hosting in-office nutrition clinics from July 26 through August 29. (Pre-registration required.)

Kearney Community Market
Saturdays | 7 am - 12 pm
Kearney Early Education Center Parking Lot
Have you been to the Kearney Community Market this season?
For the past two years, I’ve had the joy of serving on the market planning committee through the Kearney Chamber of Commerce—because fresh seasonal veggies go with dietitians like PB&J.
Supporting our local farmers isn't just good for your plate—it’s good for our entire community. I wrote an article last year about why I make Saturday mornings at the market a regular part of my routine. Give it a read—you might just be inspired to grab your tote bag and join me!
