The Problem

CHEFs’ overarching mission is to improve the long-term health and well being of people across the United States by providing them with access to nutrition education, instruction in meal preparation, and resources to a more readily available supply of healthy food.

Plan of Action

Once per week, volunteers will aide a teacher/group leader in the presentation of the CookShop curriculum. CookShop, the federally funded nutrition education program of the Food Bank For New York City, uses hands-on cooking and exploration activities to give students and families the knowledge and skills to make healthy food choices on a limited budget, and to foster enthusiasm for nutritious foods.
