The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Nutrition and cooking classes for low, middle and working Seniors, to teach how to "Eat Healthy " on today's incomes. Making meals that stretch and how to keep food good for days. Perhaps Hospitals and Colleges could supply the teachers.
Who it helps and why
Not only do people on food stamps have difficulty with food insecurity, but working people do too. By offering them education on how buy, store and prepare food you will give them the tools to be healthier citizens.
