Cooking Matters

CARE Housing offers its residents the FREE Cooking Matters™ for Families class over a 6-week, hands on series.

  • Select nutritious and low-cost ingredients
  • Prepare healthy, tasty and affordable meals at home
  • Shop on a budget and plan weekly meals
  • Navigate practical nutrition education
  • Take home groceries each week to practice recipes from class
