Share our Strengths Cooking Matters Massachusetts

Share Our Strength’s Cooking Matters® Massachusetts (Cooking Matters MA) teaches families at risk of hunger how to get more food for their money and better nourishment from those foods. Cooking Matters MA partners with community organizations and volunteer culinary and nutrition instructors to provide food skills education that empowers families to make healthy choices and prepare affordable meals on limited budgets. Serving a diverse population of low-income families—most of whom are enrolled in food assistance programs including SNAP (food stamps) and WIC—Cooking Matters MA envisions a future in which all Massachusetts children have the nutritious foods they need to grow, learn, and thrive, and all parents and caregivers have the knowledge and skills to prepare delicious and balanced meals.
