 helps recovering addicts, recent parolees and others enter or re-enter 
 society.\n\nPart of this year's Soul Food Fair is devoted to Health 
 Education.  "Soul Food is the calling card, but we the regional community 
 to come out and learn about healthy solutions to a positive lifestyle," 
 Saunders said. "The African-American community has a high mortality rate 
 ... suffering from high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and other 
 chronic disease, they're issues that need to be addressed."\n\n"Regional 
 Health care providers are slow to support authentic community based 
 organizations that build infrastructure within our communities, it is a 
 public policy paradigm shift that the Stockton Soul Food Festival directly 
 speaks a target audience for health disparity, says Michael Harris, 
 Director, Central Valley Kwanzaa Celebration, togegher we can make a 
 difference." \n\nEntry to the Soul Food Festival and entertainment is free,

 year-long programs that directly support the regional community.\n
