Spotlight Program
Alaska Lizzie Kitchen Program
Chena Camp serves as a home for the Alaska Lizzie Kitchen Program; whose mission is to teach participants basic culinary skills, steps to create nutritional meals, and the relationships between, food, health, and disease.
​
​As resident chef, Lizzie uses her experience from serving in non-profit community programs, culinary training, and small business networking to develop a happy space for learning, serving, and sharing her love for cooking in order to make a difference in others lives.
Cooking Up Health
Cooking is a valuable life skill that teaches children about nutrition and food safety, as well as creativity, literary skills, and math while providing a healthy outlet.
Nutrition Education Equality
Youth and families in under-served and vulnerable populations are disproportionally impacted by mental and physical illnesses that are preventable or managed with healthy good, food access and nutritional education.
Social and Emotional Health
There’s a direct relationship between healthy diet and a healthy mind.
Food Stability
Weekly fellowship is not only a time to gather and share a meal, but a way to ensure food stability for some of our young attendees. Each week at our Southside program, “snack packs” are sent home with each child, with additional packs sent along for other siblings and parents at home. Cooking class always ends with carry-out containers for all the students to take home and share.
