Share Our Strength, a good friend to The Culinary Trust and an ally in the Chefs Move to Schools Initiative is offering free curriculum and funding for culinary professionals to help teach families how to shop for healthy food on a limited budget.  Share Our Strength’s Shopping Matters is an interactive, in-store shopping tour lasting 60-90 minutes that teaches low-income families four key food shopping skills: buying fruits and vegetables on a limited budget, identifying whole grains, comparing unit prices and reading food labels. Working with a local nonprofit or other organization eligible to receive funds such as a school, culinary professionals volunteer to lead the shopping tour and are given curriculum materials to guide them.
