The Healthy Foods Preparation and Preservation Community Education Program promotes increased consumption of plant based foods and improved health and wellness through food production, healthy meal planning and preparation and the preservation of fresh garden produce. Classes and demonstrations are offered to children’s program participants and their families as well as community and back yard gardeners in the neighborhoods served by Let’s Grow Akron. Participants learn the importance of growing and eating fruits and vegetables, how to prepare and to preserve them through cooking classes and demonstrations and preservation classes that teach canning, freezing and dehydrating methods. Production gardens provide produce to prepare and preserve as well as to donate to individuals and families unable to grow their own, local food pantries and soup kitchens.
