This project delivered a series of free, after-school workshops for children ages 5–10 in South Vancouver, focusing on food literacy, nutrition education, and sustainable eating practices. In partnership with South Vancouver Family Place, the program aimed to address food insecurity by equipping families with practical tools and knowledge for healthier, budget-conscious food choices. Each workshop featured interactive activities, nutritious meals, and take-home care packages designed to extend learning into the home.
