Support the Campaign to Help Us Sustain Nutrition & Cooking Education
Common Threads is a national nonprofit that provides hands-on cooking and nutrition education to children and families in under-resourced communities. Right now, due to the loss of critical federal SNAP-Ed funding, these programs are at risk of disappearing in the communities that need them most. We’re turning to you, our community to help keep this work going. Whether you donate, start a fundraiser, or join our giveback campaign, your support will help ensure kids continue to learn, grow, and thrive.
OUR PROGRAMS
At Common Threads, we are providing children, educators, caregivers, and healthcare professionals with the resources, curriculum, and training needed to champion healthy cooking and nutrition education within their community. Learn about a few of our top programs available!
