The 4th Monday in September has been officially designated as "Family Day." It is a national effort to promote a family meal as a simple, effective way to raise healthier children, develop family unity & communication, as well as reduce substance abuse among children and teens. This year, Family Day is next Monday, September 23rd.

Those who already eat regular meals together might ask, "Why do we need a special day to eat dinner together?" or "What's the big deal?"

For answers, check our new "It's Dinner Time" web page, the national Family Day website.
