Food Explorers

The Newmarket Food Pantry would like to thank The Hershey Company and Food Banks Canada for providing funding which provided us with the opportunity to deliver the Food Explorers Program this Fall.

The program enabled 7 children aged 9 to 11 to take part in a 7-week program where they learned all about good food choices. Each week was centred around a different topic, such as where food grows, what are good snacks, how to make good food choices and how to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The final class allowed the children to invite their families to enjoy a meal prepared and served by them. We would like to also thank the PC Cooking School for facilitating the program for us.
