Recipe & Food Skills Handouts to Share Alongside Summer Meals

What's Inside

Our partner, Cooking Matters, has created a number of bright and colorful resources to support families in making healthy, affordable food choices. Summer meals sponsors may be interested in sharing these resources with kids, teens, and their families at meal pick-up locations or within meal kits delivered straight to families. These resources may be especially helpful to sponsors that are serving summer meals with bulk meal components, e.g. a whole cucumber, pint of strawberries, or a 1/2 gallon of milk.
