Over the past few years, we have 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, we have 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. We will be providing more information to you as our partner, but most importantly we wanted to confirm that we’re committed to ensuring that your organization can maintain access to Cooking Matters curricula and downloadable materials for the foreseeable future and encourage you to continue to use them.
We anticipate you will have questions, and we are committed to providing timely responses. To ensure efficient assistance, we have provided a help desk link (https://cookingmatters.freshdesk.com/en/support/home) with team members ready to address your questions.
We also hosted two live webinars on both August 9th, 2023, at 3 pm ET and September 26, 2023 at 3 pm with Share Our Strength leadership to share updates and answer questions.

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.
