Sunday Suppers: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 18:25, 9 January 2018

Every week Sunday Suppers families share a healthy dinner around a family table. They learn about fresh and healthier foods, different cooking techniques, simple nutrition facts and the importance of family meals.

Increasing access to healthy food is an important first step, However, we believe that obesity and malnutrition in urban areas is not solved by simply giving food to families. Sunday Suppers focuses on better food choices and healthier preparation, all while keeping the family as the focal point. The goal of the program is to equip each family with the information and hands-on skills they need to have physically and emotionally healthier lives.

-<br> Suppers are served every Sunday and include fresh vegetables, lean proteins and fruits while eliminating processed foods and sugary drinks. Meals are served family style on linen covered tables with fresh flowers, china and silverware; each family at their own table. Conversation starters and games at each table encourage interaction and engage family members. At the end of each Sunday supper, every family takes home all the items and recipes they need for another family meal.
