When you do, you’re helping students like Taylor, a high school freshman who joined our Vetri Cooking Lab summer program.

One afternoon, Taylor helped prepare Greek Salad, Grilled Pineapple, and Hummus with fresh veggies. She almost skipped the hummus (“I’ve never tried it, but it’s just not something I think I’d like,” she said).

But after seeing her classmates enjoying it, Taylor gave it a try (and enjoyed it!) 💛

Your support helps students like Taylor build confidence, explore new foods, and form life skills for life.
Let's work together!

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do at Vetri Community Partnership. We love introducing new dishes to people who want to eat more nutritious foods but aren’t sure where to start, worry that eating well is expensive, or are simply balancing busy lives as new moms. 

We’re so happy to show that nutritious food can be delicious, accessible, and affordable for everyone. 💚
