Nutrition/Cooking Education: 18 Reasons, a local nonprofit organization, works throughout the San Francisco Bay Area with Cooking Matters to provide nutrition education and improved access to healthy food in low-income communities. The organization holds cooking classes at the Monument Crisis Center that educates participants on how to create affordable and nutritious meals. Students prepare and enjoy meals after each class.
Health Screenings: Both students from local nursing programs and practicing professionals periodically host workshops and clinics offering a number of services including diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure checks, as well as informative presentations and demonstrations on a variety of other healthcare topics.
