Description
Food Smarts teaches healthy nutrition and cooking skills for kids, adults and seniors to develop the skills and acquire the information that empower them to eat more fresh, whole foods and to live healthier lives. Workshops cover basic nutrition, kitchen safety, cooking skills, meal planning, label reading, media literacy.
Leah's Pantry has approved Food Smarts to be delivered via a virtual format. Modifications may not be made to handouts, but permission is given to create slides based on workbook pages although Leah's Pantry has slides available for download to partners. Modifications can be made with regard to lesson delivery to take advantage of virtual platform capabilities. Some virtual lesson plans are available for download to partners, although we expect that partners will need to modify delivery strategies based on their situation. Must be a registered partner to access curricula downloads.
