What is Cooking Matters?

Cooking Matters connects families with food by teaching them how to prepare healthy, tasty meals on a limited budget. Professional chefs and nutritionists volunteer their time and expertise to lead hands-on courses that teach adults, teens and kids how to purchase and prepare nutritious foods in healthy, safe and tasty ways. This knowledge can mean the difference between feeding families for just one night, and making sure they have the knowledge, skills and resources to prepare healthy meals for a lifetime.

 

The chefs, nutritionists and support volunteers who donate their time and extraordinary talents to help low-income families develop the skills they need are the heart of the Cooking Matters program.

Thank you for your continued support of CHNCT Foundation.
  
Sincerely,
CHNCT Foundation
