Welcome To Our *NEW* Educational Resources Page!

We're committed to providing educational resources for your family to keep you learning, entertained, and healthy during this unprecedented time. On this page you'll find recipes, activities, lessons, songs, and much more! These resources are curated and created by our FoodCorps service members, who are typically in Chicopee classrooms, gardens, and cafeterias working to introduce students to healthy food. In addition to this page, be sure to follow "Food Educators MA" on YouTube for awesome videos from FoodCorps members all over the state. Please contact us if you have any requests for content or questions about the activities on this page. And be sure to tag us @ChicopeeFRESH so we can see what nutrition and gardening activities you're doing at home!
