The EAT Program
Affirmed Housing is proud to introduce EAT! A collaboration between the non profit Love Your Lunchbox and Affirmed, the EAT program provides free cooking classes
to Affirmed Housing residents to encourage healthy eating. EAT will accomplish this goal through Education, providing the
necessary Access, and giving
people the Tools they need to
live and eat healthy. Our new program
corresponds with the state wide food stamps system called CALFresh (federally
known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The EAT program consists of four 2- hour
classes taught by professional chefs, Julie Darling and Marguerite Grifka. The
first set of classes has already begun at Solterra, a recently completed Senior Affordable Housing community located in El Cajon.
The classes have been well received and the senior residents have been
eager to participate. We at AHG are very
excited about this new opportunity that will enhance our resident’s lives by
introducing new ways to prepare healthy, affordable, timely meals.
