Mission: The Inter-Faith Food Shuttle pioneers innovative, transformative solutions designed to
end hunger in our community.
As part of the No Kid Hungry campaign working to end childhood hunger in America, Share
Our Strength’s Cooking Matters® empowers low-income families to stretch their food budgets
so their children get healthy meals at home. Participants learn to shop smarter, use nutrition
information to make healthier choices, and cook delicious, affordable meals. Cooking Matters
courses and tours equip families with the skills they need to stretch their food dollars and
maximize the benefits they receive through public nutrition programs like SNAP (food stamps)
and WIC (Women, Infants and Children). For more information, visit CookingMatters.org.

Inter-Faith Food Shuttle Volunteers
Volunteers are the heart of Cooking Matters. Chefs, nutrition educators, and
community leaders volunteer at least 12 hours over six weeks to teach courses and
spend additional time leading tours, where they share their expertise with families in
need and empower them to get more from their food resources. Volunteers also
serve in course support roles and as members of local advisory councils.
In 2013, 157 people volunteered for courses, tours, or in
other capacities.
