About the program

Nutrition makes a difference

Children who eat breakfast are better learners, research shows. Adults who eat well are more productive employees. With good nutrition, seniors stay in their homes longer and have lower medical bills. In short, the better we eat, the better we feel and live.

People with limited resources often run short of food at the end of the month – or may not realize they could make better choices at the store or good use of the food they bring home.

The fun, innovative curriculum is customized to the needs of diverse audiences and available in several languages. Our personal presentation makes these programs very successful.

Classes are offered in many community settings, including food shelves, WIC clinics, senior citizen centers, day-care centers, shelters, migrant centers, summer camps, low-income housing, grocery stores and even in homes.

By providing participants six hours of education we assure learning and behavior change. Our learners have shown behavior changes in food safety, meal planning, food preparation. grocery shopping, food budgeting, and proper nutrition.

Our efforts impact more than 700,000 people in Minnesota, directly or indirectly.
