From program coordinator Maria Perdomo: “We notice how the children have been improving in their skills—social/emotional skills, cognitive skills—and how the parents are improving how they connect with their children and support them with positive discipline.”

Last Thursday, MFS Hunger Relief programs held a Vietnamese cooking class at West Powellhurst, led by MFS Hunger Relief AmeriCorps member Thu Le, and two Vietnamese community members. They taught parents, students and volunteers how to make Vietnamese salad rolls and peanut sauce, sticky coconut rice, and a Vietnamese chicken and vegetable soup. 🥥🍲🍴
Each family took home a bag of healthy groceries and recipes! Thank you, Portland Children’s Levy for the support!
This is one of THIRTY healthy cooking workshops being held by the MFS Hunger Relief team at our SUN Schools!

Last year, they raised $420,000 for each of the nonprofits, and that wouldn’t have happened without nearly 500 awesome volunteers.
