Healthy Minds Spring From Healthy Bodies

Our holistic mind-body-soul approach to supporting our children wouldn't be complete without rigorous attention to diet. With the help of phenomenal partners like YUM Chefs, we provide onsite cooking and gardening workshops that both nourish and provide a foundational education that ensures our children establish healthy eating habits for life.

Garden To Table

Launched in 2010, the Garden to Table program teaches children the value of fresh food and nutrition. It provides an enriching, educational activity that ultimately produces food to utilize in the cooking classes offered at the shelter. We are proud to say that we currently have gardens in four shelter locations and cooking classes happening in five shelters.
