Better Together to host Better Luncheon for parents in Jacksonville on March 12

Better Together, a nonprofit dedicated to helping families in crisis and preventing the need for foster care, is launching its first Better Luncheon program for parents in Northeast Florida on Saturday, March 12 at Awaken Church in Jacksonville.

Better Together organizes a luncheon program at various locations each month to bring parents together for community, to support each other and to hear from experts while their children play supervised in another room. The luncheon will provide background-checked volunteers in addition to lunch, games and fun for children to enjoy while parents attend the event.

Attendees of the March luncheon will hear from relationship expert Mieko Paige of Live the Life, a faith-based nonprofit with a mission to strengthen marriages and families, discussing the easy and practical ways to bond with your child. There will also be prizes, games and a gift for all who attend.

“Parenting is tough business. No matter how wonderful and functional our upbringing, we all have questions, struggles and concerns when raising our children,” said Megan Rose, CEO of Better Together. “To help parents along their journey, our Better Luncheons allow parents to enjoy lunch, companionship and expert advice while their children are under the supervision of background-checked volunteers.”

The Better Luncheon will take place from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 12 at Awaken Church, located at 4820 Executive Park Court, Unit 104, in Jacksonville. Admission is free and includes lunch.
