6-Week Cooking Matters Course

The Idaho Foodbank and Eat Smart Idaho are teaming up to bring Cooking Matters for Families to the Mini-Cassia. This 6-week course will be an interactive experience to help adults learn how to choose and prepare healthy foods on a budget with limited equipment. This fun and informative class will include hands-on food preparation, label reading, meal planning, and nutrition tips. Our goal is to help families make the most of their food dollars. Each class will conclude with a nutritious meal that participants and instructors will sit down to eat together. All participants who attend 5 out of the 6 classes will be eligible for a grand prize drawing. Children under the age of 16 must have adult supervision and all members of the household are encouraged to attend together.

Ham-A-Palooza

Sponsored by:LCCU

Upload Event Logo

LCCU is excited to launch our holiday ham drive to help less fortunate families right here in their communities. Since 2014, we have donated nearly 4,000 hams to local families in need.

Thanks to the overwhelming support of community members like you, our program has been incredibly successful. LCCU partners with local food banks who distribute the hams to 700 families each year. Recently, however, you have probably noticed the rise of hunger in our community. That’s where you come in! LCCU is asking you to donate to the Ham-a-Palooza campaign. By donating, you will be able to help make this holiday season a little brighter (and yummier!) for local families! This year the goal is to raise as much money as possible. Please help reach the full LCCU matching amount of $4,000. The more we raise, the more families, together, we are able to feed.
