We are thrilled to announce the launch of our ShootsNFruits Fiesta, a vibrant weekly event funded by the National Lottery. Every Sunday, we will host fruit and veggie parties specifically designed for children in need, providing them with not only a selection of fresh fruits and vegetables but also a wealth of knowledge and skills related to nutrition and food preparation.
The ShootsNFruits Fiesta aims to foster a love for healthy eating and empower children with practical skills they can use at home. Each session will feature interactive workshops covering various aspects of nutrition, such as:
- Food Preparation: Hands-on activities where children learn how to make nutritious meals, including potluck soups and smoothies.
- Home Veggie Growing: Tips and techniques for growing vegetables at home, encouraging sustainable practices and self-sufficiency.
- Cooking on a Budget: Demonstrations and lessons on preparing healthy meals inexpensively, making nutritious eating accessible for all.
- Fruit Presentations: Fun and creative ways to present and enjoy fruits, making healthy eating appealing and enjoyable.
In addition to these educational workshops, each child will receive a goodie bag filled with fresh fruits and vegetables to take home to their families. These bags will also include supplies for growing their own fruits and veggies at home, promoting continuous learning and engagement with healthy practices.
But the ShootsNFruits Fiesta doesn’t stop there. We are also excited to announce that children participating in these sessions will have the opportunity to volunteer with salad preparation for our daily breakfast club. This initiative not only provides valuable experience in food preparation but also fosters a sense of community and responsibility among the young participants.
The ShootsNFruits Fiesta is more than just a weekly event; it’s a movement towards healthier, more connected communities. With the generous funding from the National Lottery, we are able to bring this vision to life, ensuring that children in need have access to fresh, nutritious food and the knowledge to make healthy choices.
Join us every Sunday for a fun-filled, educational, and nourishing experience. Together, let’s grow a healthier future for our children and our community.
Stay tuned for updates and more exciting news about the ShootsNFruits Fiesta!
