Nutrition Education is a vital initiative of FOOD for Lane County, dedicated to empowering residents in Springfield, OR, and the surrounding areas with essential nutrition education and practical cooking skills. Our mission is to assist income-eligible individuals and families in making healthier food choices while maximizing their limited food budgets. Through programs like Cooking Matters and Cooking Matters at the Store, we offer engaging workshops that cover nutrition education, financial literacy, and hands-on food preparation. Our goal is to foster well-being and self-sufficiency within the community by equipping participants with the knowledge and skills they need to prepare nutritious meals on a budget.
