Overheard this month… “Mm, okay I would never Overheard this month…

“Mm, okay I would never have thought to do anything like this [Chickpea Salad], but you know, it's actually pretty good. I like that pop of zest!” 

“I give this five stars, especially because I know I cut this radish right here.”

“I don’t just like it; I LOVE it.” (About Corn & Radish Salad)

“I’ll take a recipe card because my mom will really like this [Green Dream Smoothie].” 

July has been a whirlwind of a month for Vetri Community Partnership! We’ve had lots of field trips and groups join us in the Teaching Kitchen. Our Mobile Teaching Kitchen thrived out in the sunshine, sharing so many recipes samples with neighbors all across Philadelphia. Our Summer Vetri Cooking Lab students cheffed it up, working with new ingredients and tasting new dishes. Community Cooking for Seniors officially launched and new friends have been made! 

Our team has been busy, busy, busy, but isn’t that what summer is all about? If you’ve cooked with us, ate with us, or simply shared space with us this month, THANK YOU for being here and sharing our love for nutritious and delicious food! 🍑🫛🥬🌽🌶️
Thanks to your generosity, Vetri Community Partner Thanks to your generosity, Vetri Community Partnership met and exceeded the generous match that Vetri Community Partnership's Board Chairs, Lisa Dykstra and Chef @marcvetri, announced a few weeks ago! In the last two weeks, people just like you donated over $120,000 to help kids keep cooking classes and nutrition education in their schools. 

While this is such an incredible running start, we still need to raise $280,000 more in order to bring Culinary Classroom back to schools and students this fall. 

Can you donate today? Every dollar counts so whether you donate $20 or $20,000, you're making an impact in the lives of kids throughout Philadelphia.

Yesterday at @masterythomashigh, @cbsphiladelphia Yesterday at @masterythomashigh, @cbsphiladelphia health reporter @stahlcbs3 joined Vetri Cooking Lab Summer students in the classroom for an afternoon of making veggie-forward burrito bowls and other accompaniments. Students showed off their knife skills while chatting about all the fruits and vegetables they tried so far this summer. 

Here at Vetri Community Partnership, we believe in inspiring students to develop the knowledge and confidence to make nutritious choices and build life skills for a healthier future. Thanks so much to @stahlcbs3 for stopping by and sharing our love for all things veggies!
