January TOT's Kitchen Report

TOTs_Kitchen_Logo

Marie__Students

We have come to appreciate those who are always looking out for us. Tots Kitchen could not be without the continued financial support of the ACF, Director, Members of the Board and Chapter Members. Our work of empowering the less fortunate with nutritional information and healthy snacks is a result of the ACF- Atlanta determination, year after year to stamp out hunger in our community.

Last month (December), we distributed 107 healthy snack packs and Christmas cookies packs (donated by a church). Each snack pack was loaded with breakfast, lunch and late snack items and an activity sheet with nutrition information.

Snacks:
Breakfast cereal
Shelf life milk
Blueberry waffles
Oranges and apples
Microwavable spaghetti and meatballs
100% Juicy juice
Pudding cups
Whole grain corn dogs
Oatmeal and raisin cookies

We had 10 nutrition and food prep classes with 138 students and 10 adults. There is so much need for parents to be educated about nutrition. There was one mother who did not know the nutritious benefits of vegetables. After the class, she asked if she could be a volunteer with us and she has been with us since

We added 4 schools with 73 new students who will participate in our holiday program only when school is out. They are: Gods House of Love, Wee Academy, Budding Scholars Center and Little Peoples Academy. There are six outstanding volunteers who help us with snacks distribution and a curriculum developer who works to help us where we need help.

The ACF- Atlanta is to be congratulated and thanked for the changes in the households of families in South Fulton. Overall, we have impacted more than 3000 children and their families with nutrition education and weekend back packs since January 2011. One woman came up to me in Kroger and asked her son if I was the vegetable lady. Her son had told her he should eat more vegetables, so she is buying more vegetables. Even on the streets, we meet children coming up to us and talking about how food will help them live longer and healthier. One of our teachers said a child told her that carrots makes a better snacks than what she had (an oatmeal bar). Teachers and parents alike are warming up to the fact that their children are being exposed to the real benefits of foods. Yes, we are making a difference in how our children influence their parents even in this way. This makes us really happy.

Sincerely,
Marie
