We will have 3 shifts 10 - 12 PM, 7 volunteers, 12- 2 PM 7 volunteers and 2 - 3 PM 6 volunteers. We will set up our tables under a tent that will be provided for us by our board member. We will place table cloths on the tables. one table will be for the children's aprons. One table will be set up with a hand washing station for the children, one table will have free vegetable & herb seed packets, and one table will be set up with a cutting board and knife and fresh fruits and vegetables. 1 Volunteer will help the child put on an apron and ask if they wear one at home and why they wear it. another volunteer will help the child learn how to correctly wash their hands, the next volunteer will help the child learn how to hold the knife correctly and cut correctly. The children will go to the last volunteer station where the volunteer will talk to the child about why to grow their own fresh fruits and vegetables and help them pick a packet of Free vegetable or herbs seeds. Their will be one volunteer that will stand outside of the booth with Chef Lynda Rexroat( Executive Director )and hands out our Cooking with Kids Foundations brochures and list of spring and summer camp schedules. This is fun and interesting job to teach the children the importance of cooking & eating healthy.

Mission Statement
Is to transform the lives of children by reducing their risk to the epidemic of childhood obesity and diabetes by teaching the valuable life skill of cooking andeating healthy.
Description
We have been teaching children 4 - 10 yrs of age for the past 21 in in the Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. To cook and eat healthy. When we started teaching children to cook we taught them what they would eat. In 2010 we saw that the children's health had gone from children being over weight to 1 in every 3 children in America being obese and or having diabetes. We chose to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. So we changed our curriculum to teaching what children needed to eat to be healthy and chose to became a not for profit 501 c3. We had programs teaching preschoolers how to cook and eat healthy in Livermore (Junction Ave. preschool) and at the Antioch Community Center sponsored by Fremont Bank, Junior League of the East Bay and Provident Credit Union. We have hosted 5 Children's Interactive/educational booths @ the Moraga Comminuty Faire and @ the Livermore Children's Fair. We have held 4 fundraisers to get funds to purchase a Mobile Classroom Kitchen. In the under served Communities 50 % of the Children we are trying to teach don't even have kitchen for us to teach in. These children's risk is even great the 1 in every 3 children in America for obesity & diabetes because their School districts nor the parents in these communities have the funds for this much needed early childhood health education. We also take 10 % of every class (for pay) we teach and put it into a fund to teach our classes in the under served Communities.
