On May 11th families gathered for the last in a series of 6 nutrition education and Family cooking classes, “Families Cooking Together“ Mindful Eating conducted by Joan Healy, Rutgers SNAP-Ed at the Gregory School in partnership with CCFA.  Over 75 students and parents participated, during the zoom series.

Each family received a “food supply bag “ with recipes for each session, a gift cooking item, and free “unique fruits” for kids!  Students who attended from CCFA cohort groups earned a $10 Target Gift Card, sponsored by Susan Rhoda- Hansen.
