Feast

Open community - these classes include weekly cooking demonstrations, healthy grocery and produce distributions, movement classes, program graduate support, and other support services. These programs provide additional opportunities for Feast families and prospective participants to take steps towards healthier lifestyle habits in a community of support.

Training - Feast's path to scale includes providing three-day leadership training for community members and health educators. Once trained, these leaders are prepared to bring Feast's programs to their communities and teach our curriculum and programs. In 2022, Feast trained 30 health educators, expanding our reach within our communities.

Core curriculum - in order to promote sustainable health and wellness, Feast offers two food education programs. Our wellness program provides food education and access, in group support settings, to under resourced adults. During 16 weeks, our participants meet and learn basic nutrition information, participate in cooking demos and sharing circles that provide the tools and emotional support needed to create long-lasting healthier habits. Acknowledging the importance of early childhood development and health, we offer an 8-week family feeding program. Our family feeding program offers caretakers of children 0-5 years old with the knowledge, skills, and support to provide healthy meals to children through the first 5 years of life. In 2022, Feast reached over 667 individuals and their families through our wellness program, and over 300 people through our family feeding program.
