Programs include food-related activities for families with infant and preschool children such as Making Homemade Baby Food workshops, leadership training sessions, Collective Kitchens and cooking with kids and the Good Food Box. Preschool KidsCAN sessions provide opportunities for parents and preschool age children to cook and have fun together.

CHEP has received funding from the Department of Community Resources (DCR) to facilitate a short term community based study and planning process on the issue of infant hunger. We will consult with low income parents, with anti-poverty groups, with health workers and community organizations to determine the present situation and the recommendations made by participants. This study will help determine the need for provision of infant nutritional supplements.
