Dear Partners:
Let’s Move Faith and Communities is excited to team up with Share Our Strength’s Cooking Mattersto train community health leaders on how to empower families with the skills to stretch their food budgets and cook healthy meals so their children get nutritious food at home.

Cooking Matters at the Store tours provide families with hands-on education as they shop for food, giving them skills to compare foods for cost and nutrition. Participants learn how to plan and budget for healthy, affordable and delicious meals for their families. This webinar will show you how to run a Cooking Matters at the Store Tour, including tips on recruiting participants, resources available to you and best practices for leading a tour.
 Cooking Matters in Your Food Pantry

Cooking Matters in Your Food Pantry helps with planning, organizing and leading food pantry demos in your community. This webinar will provide sample outlines of several nutrition education lessons and activities that can be used in the food pantry setting and easily customized to the amount of time you have available for your demonstration. It also contains a wide selection of handouts and recipes to use at your demo and to send home with clients. We will also discuss setting up a well-stocked pantry in the home so clients can access quick, healthy meals with budget and time in mind.
 Cooking Matters
Thursday, June 26, 1-2 p.m. EDT. Click here to register.
Cooking Matters hands-on courses empower families with the skills to be self-sufficient in the kitchen. Participants practice fundamental food skills, including proper knife techniques, reading ingredient labels, cutting up a whole chicken and making a healthy meal for a family of four on a $10 budget. Each course is team-taught by a volunteer chef and nutrition educator and covers meal preparation, grocery shopping, food budgeting and nutrition. This webinar will cover some of the fundamental food skills taught in Cooking Matters courses, including resources available to you like the Smart Phone App with recipes!
For 20 years, Share Our Strength’s Cooking Matters has empowered families with the skills to stretch their food budgets and cook healthy meals so their children get nutritious food at home. As part of the No Kid Hungry campaign to end childhood hunger in America, Cooking Matters teaches participants to shop smarter, use nutrition information to make healthier choices and cook delicious, affordable meals. Founded in 1993, Cooking Matters and thousands of volunteer instructors have helped more than 150,000 low-income families in communities across the country learn how to eat better for less.
Let’s Move Faith and Communities collaborates with leading federal and private partners to train faith and community leaders on health education curricula that can be implemented at the community level.
We hope you can join us for our first training sessions on Cooking Matters!
Sincerely,
Let's Move Faith and Communities
