Mission
Local Matters works to create healthier communities through food education, access, advocacy and food rescue.
About
Food Matters: Food Matters is a program that seeks to positively influence the eating habits of young children by teaching them what healthful food is, where it comes from, how it grows, and how to cook it. Through weekly lessons, we offer children language to talk about healthful foods and engage them in the preparation of whole grains, fruit and vegetables and plant proteins. The one-hour classes are hands-on and interactive, and incorporate ecology, geography, and literacy. In 2018, we reached 960 students with the 24-week whole-food based curriculum. We also partner with program hosts to create on-site food-production gardens at 25 different sites to be used for outdoor education, reaching 640 children. Through 100 community education events, we reached an additional 6,100 people. Additional education programming reaches 1,200 students in varying formats of the Food Matters program.
