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 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.
