Thank you for your interest in Cooking Matters programming. Over the past few years, Share Our Strength has been moving away from direct service through Cooking Matters courses and tours to provide a broader array of education formats and tools, for digital and in person access to food skills education to reach parents and caregivers of young children. Now, as part of a strategic realignment to maximize our impact organizationally, Share Our Strength has made the difficult decision to phase out our Cooking Matters work. Over the coming weeks and months, staff who have been managing this work will be transitioning from the organization or into new roles.


Regrettably, we will no longer accept new partners. However, we understand the value of the resources we have developed over time and Share Our Strength is committed to ensuring that you and your organization can access the newly updated, downloadable Cooking Matters materials and encourage you to use them. Please visit https://cookingmatters.org/core/ to access the new user guide, facilitator training, lessons, handouts, recipes and waivers. These materials are not available in print at this time; however, you may use and share the digital versions provided on our website.

We are grateful to the staff, volunteers and partners who have shown deep commitment to Cooking Matters over more than 30 years. This work has touched the lives of so many children and families and will always be an important part of Share Our Strength’s history.
