Wow this place is awesome. Stopped by for 'training' for their Operation Front line volunteering program, which teaches families, parents, kids and teens of low income families how to cook nutritious and delicious meals on a budget.
What a great idea! Instead of just giving out food, each class participant gets a great lesson in cooking and nutrition, then they get to help create a meal in class AND a bag of groceries to take home with them to practice.
The people at training were great - nutrition majors, foodies, chefs all mingling in a philanthropic pow wow. The training was hands on and interactive, and I really like Solid's Ground's focus on diversity, equality, respect and education as a way to help the community.
Super cool place! There was a cooking class going on with a room of kids and it smelled heavenly! Look up Solid Ground's Operation Front Line if you love food and love volunteering! read more
