Bringing Healthy Eating to Your Community

OFS is committed to ensuring equitable access to nutritious foods. We understand that trying unfamiliar foods can be daunting, and we provide the opportunity for our neighbors to taste and experience a variety of wholesome ingredients. Our culinary program is designed to increase exposure to fresh produce, lean proteins, and whole grains. In our classes and demonstrations, we showcase a variety of cooking techniques that encourage the incorporation of these foods into quick and easy meals.

Through an on-the-go model, we teach families and adults how to plan, shop for and prepare healthy, affordable, and delicious meals. Our nutrition experts will come to your organizations space with the equipment needed to customize the experience to your unique group.

Cooking activities require access to running water, electricity, refrigeration, and ample workspace, such as sturdy tables. Seating appropriate to the audience size is also required. We request a cost-share amount of $350 for each class. The cost-share reflects a portion of our staff time and all supplies and materials.
