OUR PROGRAMS
Food Education
A critical part of a healthy neighborhood is not only access to healthy food, but the knowledge required to make healthy meals and snacks, shopping on a budget, food storage, and other important food-related concepts.
We start working with students at a young age and go beyond what’s taught in the classroom. As kids grow, we build on the food education, and work to reach adults interested in learning how to garden, new ways to cook vegetables, or shopping for healthy food on a budget.
