Our Focus

At BiG Heroes, our focus encompasses Kitchen and Gardening, Health, Wellness, Job Skills, and Production, providing comprehensive programs that foster culinary creativity, promote physical and mental well-being, and equip individuals with essential job skills for meaningful employment opportunities.

Garden

At BiG Heroes, we believe that growing food has the power to change lives, one vegetable at a time. Thanks to the support of various grants and dedicated community members, we have maintained a thriving garden that supplies fresh produce to our learning kitchen. Our members actively participate in the entire process—learning to plant, care for, and harvest vegetables. These homegrown ingredients are then used in the kitchen, where members prepare healthy, nutritious dishes as part of their life skills training.

Kitchen

BiG Heroes has partnered with The Small Bites Adventure Club which shares the importance of good eating habits and nutrition through cooking activities. Teaching members about healthy cooking habits, safe appliance and utensil use, and gardening skills not only promotes wellness but also fosters a deeper connection to food and where it comes from. It's a holistic approach that encourages sustainability and self-sufficiency. Plus, using the harvested vegetables and herbs in the kitchen reinforces the connection between growing and consuming food, making the entire process more meaningful. It's a great way to promote a healthy lifestyle and environmental consciousness!

Health

Empowering members with basic health skills like proper dental hygiene, temperature monitoring, and blood pressure reading is incredibly valuable. It not only encourages proactive health management but also enhances their overall well-being and quality of life. By teaching these fundamental skills, you're enabling members to become more self-sufficient and proactive in maintaining their health, which can lead to better health outcomes in the long run. It's a proactive and empowering approach to healthcare that fosters personal responsibility and self-care.
