Exploring Cultural Diversity through Food

Food is a language unto itself and brings people together

Many of us take for granted the opportunity to enjoy a variety of cuisines at restaurants across the region. However, there are many households where that exposure is not possible. The children at CHOR have requested the chance to immerse themselves in new cultures through this experiential program and learn more about the world around them.

Overcoming misunderstanding and intolerance in the world by breaking bread together

The Exploration Eats Project expands cultural awareness to enrich the lives of the children and the communities we serve through experiential menus that open discussions around tolerance, kindness, responsibility, and gratitude.

These last few years have impacted the children, families, and communities we serve.

We hope you will consider being part of this very important project and help to bring the gift of cultural awareness and understanding to our children!

 

Exploration Eats Project

Beginning in January 2022, our Residential Program and Evening Reporting Center will be switching up their regular National School Lunch menu once a month to explore world cultures through new foods.

With your help, approximately 70 children will have the opportunity to experience different cultures and traditions through diverse cuisines prepared by a local restaurant or group.

By supporting LOCAL, we are making sure that we are doing our part to help the restaurants and the economy.

With continued support we hope to grow “Exploration Eats” and expand it’s reach to our two schools and then into the rest of our programs.

You contribution enriches the lives of the children, communities we serve, and plant the seeds of tolerance, kindness, responsibility and gratitude for generations to come.
