Today on DelmarvaLife –

MEALS TIL MONDAY

The Midshore Meals Til Monday Program started nearly three years ago. It’s a backpack program in Dorchester County that allows students to take home nutritious food over the weekend. DelmarvaLife’s Katie Zarrilli introduces us to the hearts behind the help.

STOP THE BLEED

Stop the Bleed is a campaign that encourages people to become trained on how to help in bleeding emergencies. State Coordinator for National Stop the Bleed Month and Paramedic, Rachael Cox explains why everyone should be trained.

AMERICAN SPIRITUAL ENSEMBLE

The American Spiritual Ensemble travels the world to perform and, this weekend, they are performing in Salisbury. Founder and Director of the group, Dr. Everett McCorvey; along with Dr. John Wesley Write, an associate professor of music at SU, talk about this genre of music. We also get a performance on the Mid South Audio Stage.

The Delmar Diner is not your typical diner. It’s an eatery with more than 100 menu items. DelmarvaLife’s Katie Zarrilli visits the diner to get to know Chef Arif Kutlusoy and find out what powers his passion to cook.  Chef Kutlousoy is also in the DelmarvaLife Kitchen showing us how to make Sesame Crusted Salmon and Vegetables.
