In the After School Program we inspire children to grow, prepare and enjoy healthy food, and to better understand our food system.

We are committed to nurturing a generation of healthy food-literate and empowered community members.

FoodFit is a 12-week program for community members living on a limited budget, who are motivated to make lasting changes to their health. The program combines fun, hands-on cooking sessions with-nutrition information, group exercise, take home recipes, shared meals, and self-directed individual and group goal-setting. 

Families are invited to join us to cook and share a meal in a fun and friendly kitchen.

The program will provide opportunities to improve food skills, try new healthy recipes, and build friendships.
