FOOD TRAINING CLASSES: EVERY SATURDAY 1-4PM BOTH ONLINE & IN-PERSON AVAILABLE

At BCEES, we believe that access to nutritious food is a fundamental right. Our Food Bank Program provides essential food assistance to families and individuals facing food insecurity. To cater to the cultural preferences of our diverse community, we offer culturally relevant foods, ensuring that everyone feels a sense of comfort and belonging. Our food bank is stocked through donations, partnerships with local organizations, and community support, creating a reliable resource for those in need.

In addition to food distribution, our Traditional Food Skills Training teaches participants valuable culinary techniques passed down through generations. These workshops cover traditional cooking methods, preserving recipes and ingredients that are significant to cultural heritage. By learning how to prepare nutritious, traditional meals, participants gain practical skills that benefit their families and communities. This program fosters community bonding and cultural pride, helping to ensure that culinary traditions are not only preserved but celebrated.
