Cooking with Mama G. and Officer Fry!
Learn your way around the kitchen and how to create alternatives to unhealthy snack food. Cooking classes help children learn kitchen safety, healthy eating habits, and show them how easy it is to prepare snacks and meals.

Cavity-Free Zone was developed in response to the U.S. Surgeon General’s report on oral health which revealed a silent epidemic of oral disease in America, especially among disadvantaged youth. Underwritten by Crest, Cavity-Free Zone aims to improve the oral health of Club members ages 6-18 nationwide. Through oral health educational program materials, a website and collaborative efforts with local dental schools, dental societies and other health care agencies, Cavity-Free Zone will be a catalyst for change in providing dental services to disadvantaged youth.

Family Support
Family support activities, programs and events are designed to benefit Club members by promoting family stability, cohesion and connection. Examples include family fun nights, parenting classes, referral services, job skills training programs and single-parent support groups.
