It was an honor to present Kids Cook For A Cause, at the IACP annual conference in Portland in April 2010.

In the Spring of 2009, we hosted the Second Annual Music For the Hungry event.  A huge crowd enjoyed live music, a BBQ, bake sale and cookie decorating activity.  We raised nearly $1300 for Share Our Strength's efforts to fight childhood hunger in America.  It was an ideal time for our community to get their kids into the kitchen to cook for a cause.

During the 2007 Summer, Michelle Stern, owner of What's Cooking, participated in an Educator Study Tour to Honduras with Heifer International.  This Study Tour provided us with an opportunity to learn more about Heifer International, issues associated with the root causes of hunger, poverty and environmental degradation, and how our actions as educators help to alleviate these problems. Also, by visiting Heifer project sites and partners, we saw firsthand how Heifer's approach to development really works.  What's Cooking will be offering more classes that teach students how food can not just help them live a healthy life, but that it can also be used as a form of service within their local and global communities.

Every summer for the past 3 years, Michelle has offered workshops to Marin Humane Society campers to bake treats for the dogs, cats, horses and birds at the shelter.

What's Cooking would be happy to work with your school or organization to do cooking-related service projects with children in your community.
