Program Highlight: Chefs in the NEST
A NEST signature program offering a hands-on cooking experience where students prepare a full meal using pantry ingredients. The program builds confidence, practical cooking skills, and community, while helping reduce stigma around less-utilized pantry staples.


The kitchen equipment was made possible through foundation grant funding, and we’re excited to invite foundation partners to see the impact of their support in action.
