Out for Lunch Lisa L. Hall Program Coordinator Birgit Simmons Preschool Coordinator Nutrition Education Program Information Parents are always looking for nutritious and appealing ways to feed their children. Stanly County mothers won't have to go farther than their Cooperative Extension Service office to learn new ways to make meal times delicious and nutritious for their families. Out for Lunch is a food and nutrition education program that combines hands-on activities in the kitchen with information about preparing healthy foods.
Participants also learn how to budget their grocery dollars and prepare foods safely.
Out for Lunch is available to any family eligible for food stamps. Each series meets 4 hours a week for 4 weeks. Each week, participants prepare several different foods, then they and their preschoolers eat the foods they made for lunch, thus the name, Out for Lunch.
