  • Cooking classes for the community to include food preparation and menu makeovers; 
     
  •  Area to prepare food for taste tests for WIC nutrition sessions;
     
  • Tie in to fresh fruits and vegetables being sold at the WIC Farm Stand, with cooking demonstrations and taste tests;
2.   Expand our conference room/community meeting space from its current capacity of 12 to 35
3.   Improved space for our rental assistance programs
4.      Expanded office space that will allow other agencies to have a presence at our office.

Yonke Construction, Partners In Design, and Odd Job Larry are helping us to make this project a reality.
