Beverly Bootstraps has been awarded a $4500 grant from The Women’s Fund of Essex County, a field of interest fund of Essex County Community Foundation. The grant is given to support the Cooking Matters Program which helps families make sure they have the healthy food they need every day. The series of classes teach how to make healthy meals on a budget. Participants learn to shop smarter, use nutrition information to make healthier choices, and cook delicious, affordable meals. The grant will help make it possible for Beverly Bootstraps to offer these classes to their clients for the next three years.
