Cooking Matters Nutrition Education Workshop Facilitator

Flexible Schedule | Charlotte, NC 28205

Program Overview Cooking Matters is a national program run by Share Our Strength & The Food Trust which relies on community partners like the Park CDC to help parents and caregivers develop their skills when shopping for and cooking healthy foods on a budget. The program includes curriculum, materials, and training, and can be delivered in person or virtually. Volunteer Needs Volunteers will support the program by facilitating educational programs that teach people about nutrition and how to make healthier choices both at the store and in preparing food at home through a variety of formats, including seminars, demos and taste tests, grocery store tours, and hands-on cooking classes. Session Details If you're interested in finding out more, please join us for a virtual information session. We’re hosting them on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 6:15 P.M. until 7:30 P.M.

Garden Helpers

Flexible Schedule | Charlotte, NC 28216

The Park CDC is growing a bountiful assortment of fresh, pesticide-free vegetables to be shared with the community, and we are seeking volunteer support for our gardening efforts at Sunset Farm. We invite you to join us as we plant and care for the produce while also working to make a significant impact in promoting healthy eating and sustainable living. Activities can be any of the following: preparing the soil, planting, tending (weeding, trellising, watering, fertilizing, etc.), harvesting, weighing, packing, and dropping off harvested veg at community partner sites for distribution. You can also help staff veg donation tables to educate people on ways to clean, store, and prepare the veggies. Your support will not only contribute to the success of our urban garden, but also inspire others to embrace sustainable gardening practices and help us to serve our neighbors in need. Additionally, your involvement will foster connections among fellow farming and gardening enthusiasts and promote a sense of belonging within our community.
