  “There are very few things that the government does that are more fundamental than making sure the people of this city are fed. So let’s stop having emergency food be a political football and actually move forward and make sure that the city is providing sufficient funding.” —Public Advocate Bill de Blasio speaking at the 18th Annual Agency Conference.

CookShop for Adults
CookShop for Adults is a complementary program for parents and guardians in schools that participate in CookShop Classroom. CookShop for Adults gets the whole family involved in making healthy food choices. Participants complete six workshops focusing on such topics as reading food labels, meal planning, storage tips and portion sizes. Participants also conduct at-home cooking activities with their families. Through simple, healthy recipes using fresh, affordable ingredients, participants gain skills and knowledge to make CookShop part of their families' daily lives. The Food Bank trains, equips and supports workshop leaders, who are chosen by each school. Each leader receives comprehensive, interactive training from Food Bank For New York City staff as well as the support, equipment, food and supplies needed to implement the curriculum successfully.
