Cooking Matters
Liz is thrilled to be a Cooking Matters AmeriCorps member working with the Southeast Oregon Regional Food Bank. Her life-long interest in food began with kitchen experiments as a child and developed into student involvement with the Student/Farmworker Alliance and work with Farm to School programs through the Sustainable Food Center in Austin. She earned her BA in Anthropology at The University of Texas at Austin in May of ’09 and since has volunteered in a community acupuncture clinic and traveled through Europe. She looks forward to passing on her love of food and nutrition to others through Cooking Matters

Every community wants its members to be happy and healthy, and the people of Ontario, Oregon have shown this desire in their eagerness to assist the Oregon Food Bank’s Southeast Oregon Services by offering Share Our Strength’s Cooking Matters courses. Community members from many different organizations have been excited to contribute to our goal of offering low-income families cooking skills and nutrition education. As the result of this enthusiasm, our nascent program promises not only to connect our participants with each other and new ways to enjoy food, but to further connect them to their community resources. We hope that these contributions will make our Cooking Matters program a vital building block in the construction of a food secure Southeast Oregon.
