The following is a message from Share Our Strength
Cooking Matters courses teach family members skills that will last a lifetime and more as they share them with relatives and friends. When families practice what they’ve learned in Cooking Matters courses—how to plan, purchase, and prepare healthy, tasty, and affordable foods at home—they are winning the fight against childhood hunger and protecting themselves from the destructive consequences of poor child nutrition.
We know Cooking Matters works from the stories of change we hear from participants – and from the hard data we gather each trimester from our course leaders. We use this data to assess our impact, share what’s working best, and expand and improve our programs.
