Ongoing Opportunities:

Miscellaneous Help Needed (great for volunteers who can’t commit to a full 6-week class):
Looking for ways to be involved with Cooking Matters outside of classes?  You can still get in some valuable volunteer hours and make a difference indirectly.  Let me know if you are interested in helping out in any of the following projects:
  • Creating nutrition tools/games/activities to be used in classes (materials will be provided and can be done on your own time!)
  • Giving short presentations about volunteering for Cooking Matters to school/church/community group you belong to
  • Working on the website – always looking for someone who is web savvy!
  • Helping to solicit class donations
  • Grocery shopping for classes (on your own time; shadowing/training required; gift cards provided)
  • Helping out in the office (sorting/packing materials/filing, etc.)
  • Assisting with data entry (everyone loves it!)
To be on the contact list for future opportunities (many agencies are interested in doing fall/winter classes), contact: Nora Testerman, Cooking Matters Program Coordinator: 970-330-3608 x 21, ntesterman@cahec.org
