Our 5-minute highlight reel that will include testimonials and footage from a recent cooking class will be shared with school leaders across the country showing our successful impact on breaking the cycle of childhood hunger inspiring positive change in other communities. Collaboration is Key: USF Center for the Advancement of Food Security and Healthy Communities led by Dr. David Himmelgreen evaluated our program documenting these powerful benefits to the students: 1 Increased confidence and self-esteem 2 Sharing of knowledge and collaboration Learned cooperation patience socialization 3 Through recipe management kitchen vocabulary and math skills improved 4 Teamwork experience leading to acceptance of those who are different 5 79.7% of the students eat more vegetables 6 88.4% continue to cook post series. In 2020 NEA recognized culinary lessons as a valuable addition to S.T.E.M programming. Expanding lessons in math and science into different areas of a students life can greatly improve their interest and their skills in the subject. By including these lessons in an activity that requires all five of their senses students are more likely to remember and retain the information that they learn. Where Love Grows was recently chosen as 1 of 3 partners of Tampa General Hospital to be named an inaugural 2026 TampaWell Champion. This honor recognizes our dedication to promoting wellness supporting vulnerable populations and collaborating with TampaWell helping to make a profound impact on the health and well-being of our community.
