Cooking Out of the Box

As of March 31, 2025, the Nourish Project is no longer operational. Information contained in this website is for archival purposes only, to document the incredible work of the Nourish Project and inspire other community-based food advocacy initiatives.

Access healthy, affordable food and learn to cook by getting connected to the YWCA’s Just Food Program. Every month, YWCA staff and volunteers prepare and package boxes of assorted fresh fruits and vegetables for distribution to homes throughout the city and county.

This interactive workshop uses box ingredients to prepare a series of simple, healthy, and inexpensive meals that participants cook and enjoy together. Group sizes are limited to between 12-15 participants.
