The NEA meets with the person either in the home or in a small group. The participants learn how to make simple meals, how to keep food safe, how to plan nutritious meals for their family, etc. The number of lessons done in the home is determined by the need and interest of each individual. Group learning opportunities may be provided through SuperCupboard classes. The lessons are taught in a group setting and a meal is prepared.
Guest speakers provide information on various topics of interest.
Classes are sponsored by local organizations. Participants are provided with the ingredients necessary to prepare the recipes learned that day for their family. Participants can also refer themselves.
