Provide a short (one to two sentence) description of your project

This project will provide increased outreach to the community, build relationships with local restaurants, and develop and implement nutrition and culinary workshops for families within the community.

Briefly summarize what your organization will do to implement this project

Our workshops will offer community members the opportunity to learn how to prepare healthy meals using affordable ingredients. Families will be able to take home donated meals from our restaurant partners. In addition, families will receive grocery packages from our food pantry and a small gift card to assist with completing their meals at home.

What motivated your organization to apply for this project?

Commonpoint aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals and families in Queens, NYC, by providing a range of services for all ages and backgrounds. It serves 85,000 people each year through five main community centers in Jamaica, Elmhurst/Corona, Forest Hills, Little Neck, and Bay Terrace, as well as 85 additional community sites.

How do you think this project will make a difference in the community?

This project will have a lasting impact by addressing food insecurity through meals and grocery packages while equipping community members with nutritional knowledge and culinary skills for healthier choices. It will ensure dignity in food selection and prioritize inclusivity by offering services in multiple languages.
