Student and Volunteer Success Stories

"Before joining the program, I struggled to read labels and plan healthy meals for my family. Thanks to the classes, I've learned budgeting and reading skills that make me feel confident. My son loves the storytime activities, and we now read together every night. It's brought us closer as a family and helped us make healthier choices. This program has truly changed our lives!" – Sarah (Mom)
