Abstract
From Cart to Kitchen is a hands-on workshop designed to support families experiencing housing transitions in the San Jose area in building healthier eating habits. In partnership with Family Supportive Housing, the program focuses on strengthening food literacy, helping participants feel more confident in choosing nutritious meals on a budget.
The workshop includes short, easy-to-follow videos and interactive activities that cover topics like reading food labels, understanding basic nutrition, and grocery shopping with limited resources. Participants also receive a user-friendly pamphlet with tips on meal planning, shopping smart, and incorporating seasonal produce.
Delivered in an in-person setting, From Cart to Kitchen creates space for learning, sharing, and building practical skills. By combining simple education with hands-on experience, the program helps families feel more confident in the kitchen and shows that healthy eating can be affordable, realistic, and within reach.
