These classes are offered to various participants, including students in grades 4-6, grades 7-8, high school, and seniors (55+). Participants gain hands-on experience preparing nutritious meals, developing lifelong cooking skills, and fostering connections within their community.
Through these hands-on classes, participants learn how to prepare nutritious and affordable meals and develop essential cooking skills that can positively impact their overall well-being. The Cooking Club fosters an environment where individuals of all backgrounds can come together, share knowledge, and build lasting connections while learning the importance of good nutrition and healthy living.
The program is committed to making healthy food accessible to everyone, particularly those facing challenges due to food insecurity. The County Food Hub ensures that cost is never a barrier to learning how to live a healthier lifestyle by providing free classes.
In addition, the program offers an exciting opportunity for the community to contribute. In 2025, all donations made through Veritas will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000. This matching initiative provides an excellent opportunity for supporters to increase their impact and help the Food Hub continue to expand its mission of supporting healthy eating and building stronger community ties.
My daughter enjoyed these classes a lot. She was willing to try new foods because she was preparing them with friends! She would love to do another series in the future!
This program allowed my daughter to expand on her cooking skills and abilities in the kitchen. She enjoyed making new recipes with friends, and was even willing to try the new foods (for a picky eater, I was very happy with the recipes they made were kid friendly). She would definitely try another class in the future!
