At Vetri Community Partnership, we are nourishing

At Vetri Community Partnership, we are nourishing minds, bodies, and communities with nutrition education through cooking. Nutrition education is more than simply giving people healthy food. In order for people to eat food that nourishes their mind and body, people need the education around preparing those foods in a way that is approachable and delicious.

Thank you for supporting our mission and uplifting our message so that people all across Philadelphia can feel confident making nutritious choices while finding joy and connection in cooking together. 💚
