Cook and Grow is a revolving 6-week, after-school program for children 8-13 years old.
This program was founded by Chef Mona Jackson and Lynette Weaver. This revolving
6-week program teaches kitchen safety, food preparation, cooking, nutrition, and how to be informed
consumer and understand food labels.
Students will learn about growing, preparing and cooking healthier meals. Our program is designed
to address the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and the dramatic increase of childhood obesity.
Students will grow some of the fresh vegetables and herbs that they will cook with and learn to read
and understand food labels to make better choices.
How Can I Get Involved?
We are looking for sponsors and donors to help supplement the tuition of interested students that
may not be able to afford the program.
Please consider sponsoring one or more students and positively impacting their lives with this
unique educational opportunity.
We are in the process of obtaining 5013c non-profit organization status. Call 203-543-9493 for more information.
