Six-week Nutrition Education Class Series
Trained volunteers lead classes combining nutrition, menu planning, budgeting, kitchen safety and sanitation in consecutive weekly sessions. Classes use Share Our Strength’s Operation Frontline Program curricula (www.strength.org). Classes can be targeted to serve children, teens, teen parents or adult groups. Students create meals and snacks using nutrient-rich foods while stretching their food budget. |
