In 2016 Deb Bush was awarded a mini-grant to offer free cooking classes for families. Each month a new type of healthy food preparation was chosen as class  topics. While some were demonstration classes, most provided a hands-on experience and there was always delicious food to sample! Several residents stepped up  to teach a class or two in the Food, Fun & Family series. We are fortunate to have so many talented residents in the STEPS Neighborhood!
Starting in 2020 this initiative has expanded and is part of the STEPS  Communiversity concept--residents teaching residents. In addition to cooking and nutrition education, Communiversity offerings include other areas such as organizing our homes, bee keeping, sewing, chemical-free cleaning products and many other skills our residents possess and want to share. Offerings are open to everyone! Want to share a skill you have? Contact us at stepscommunity@s2aynetwork.org.
