BiG Heroes | Our Focus

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

At BiG Heroes we share 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!
