Sunday Suppers - Philadelphia Information

Sunday Suppers enhances the overall health and wellness of families through the transformative power of family meals, serving low-income neighborhoods in Philadelphia – a city with the highest rate of poverty and food insecurity among the 10 largest cities in the U.S. Our five-month program centers around a weekly family meal made with ingredients that are familiar, affordable, and accessible. Every fall and spring, we bring together a new cohort of families who learn about fresh and healthier foods, different cooking techniques, simple nutrition facts, and the importance of eating together. Following an interactive lesson, families sit down and enjoy the dinner they helped prepare. At the end of the meal, families are given a to-go bag, with the ingredients and recipes for that night’s supper, to take home and make on their own. The goal of Sunday Suppers is to provide each family with the information, equipment, and hands-on skills necessary for physically and emotionally healthier lives. We believe that instilling confidence is the first step towards healthy cooking in the home kitchen and empowering families to become more engaged with each other and their communities.
