More than 14 million children are at risk of hunger in America; in Colorado, one in seven children are hungry or at risk for malnutrition.
Twenty-one percent of children in Denver are living in poverty and are at risk of hunger. Share Our Strength's Cooking Matters is a groundbreaking nutrition education program that helps families help themselves by teaching them how to prepare healthy low-cost meals.
Professional chefs and nutritionists volunteer their time and expertise to lead hands-on courses that instruct adults, teens and kids living on a low-income how to get the most nutrition out of a limited budget.
This year Cooking Matters Colorado coordinated 65 courses that impacted a total of 3,578 families. In 2008 our goal is to provide 72-80 courses in our nine county service area.
