Our classes are great for:
We will host at least 36 cooking classes in 2026.
- up-skilling your budgeting and meal planning/meal prep know-how
- building connections: all our classes offer an opportunity for hands-on collaboration with fellow participants, so you can reignite friendships and make new ones!
- discovering new fruits, vegetables, and grains and growing the confidence to try them at home, too
We will host at least 36 cooking classes in 2026.
Stay tuned for calendar updates as these get scheduled once we meet our fundraising goal.
We are looking forward to hosting sessions at schools, community centers, local pantries, and more, thanks to grants from the Myra Foundation and the Northwest Minnesota Foundation.

If we can meet our fundraising goal of $3000 for our annual kitchen supplies budget, we'll be ready to launch this program. We only need 36 donors to make it happen. So, donate today or gather up your friends and officemates and, together, make a gift of $75 to sponsor one of our community cooking classes in 2026.
Anyone who pledges a monthly gift of $10 or more will be eligible for a free subscription to our forthcoming monthly recipe e-newsletter. More news coming soon about that series. We can accept donations through the Community Foundation of Grand Forks East Grand Forks, and Region, which is our trusted fiscal sponsor. Through their 501(c)3 status (EIN:45-0448088), donations to support Live Well’s programs are tax-deductible.
