(23 sentences will help kick start the course and the plan will be to write funding into the maximum) upcoming Head Start grant in order to self sustain the program in the future. At least 20 parents that have children that may fall into the overweight/obese category will be targeted for the intervention. Over the Please provide 1 2 primary ob ectives for this course of the school year (August 2017May 2018), bimonthly to monthly program area, and how your grant funds will help cooking classes will be held utilizing the Cooking Matters curriculum.

The priority audience will not need much recruitment as they are already participants in the Head Start program and bring their children to school each day. https://nokidhungrygrants.force.com/FGM_Portal__CommunityApplicationReview?id=70141000000Ss9nAAC&quizId=a0n41000003euI2AAI&appID=006410000… 5/9 6/16/2017 CM2017 ~ No Kid Hungry Grantee Community Objective 2: Parents that are not involved in the Cooking Matters course along with those that are, will be invited to a popup Cooking Matters at the Store tour held within the meeting rooms at the Head Start classroom facility. At least 40 families will be invited and the course will walk the families through a virtual tour of the store focusing on the key points in each aisle from the curriculum. This will be easy to continue and the program will also partner with the Arizona State University College of Health Solutions to utilize nutrition students to facilitate the tours as well. As the Head Start Nutritionist, I have received grants in previous years to run both the Cooking Matters at the Store curriculum as well as the Please provide your organization's Cooking Matters course. Both were very well received and popular among background/ experience w ith the proposed the Head Start families that I serve. It has been several years since we project/ program and objectives listed received the grants. When the grants were received in the past, the above. objectives of each grant were met in full and the required number of families were served with each. The Maricopa County Head Start program currently serves just short of 1000 families including pregnant women, infants and children up to the age of 5 years. The income level of the Head Start participants falls at or below the poverty level. Children in foster care, homeless children, and Please provide information on your children from families receiving public assistance (Temporary Assistance for community, the specific needs your project Needy Families or Supplemental Security Income) are also eligible for Head w ill address. Please also include any Start and Early Head Start services regardless of income. The majority of relevant demographic information about the population that Maricopa County Head Start serves is hispanic which is the population you are trying to reach, also a group that is at risk for overweight and obesity. The families will not such as age, race/ ethnic composition, and need to be recruited to come anywhere outside of where they would income. normally come to drop off/pick up their children which usually leads to increased attendance. The hours of the courses will be while the children are in class as that typically is the time most of the families are able to attend and not require additional child care. Despite the fact that the program serves 1000 families, it is still challenging to find families that will commit to coming to all of the classes (or only miss one) for the Cooking Matters program, despite the incentives Please provide a list of anticipated that are offered. Maricopa County Head Start employs Family Support challenges your organization w ill face in Specialists (FSS) that work closely with the families and will help identify implementing the program described in this those that will come on a regular basis and they will also assist with calling application. Please also describe the actions the families to remind them of the courses. Class times will be voted on by your organization w ill take to address the participating families to ensure the program is meeting the needs of the challenge. group. Maricopa County Head Start also wants to see the program continue beyond the grant which is always challenging during period of uncertainty in the political system. We hope to write the course into future Head Start grant funding cycles. Arizona State University (ASU) College of Health Solutions students I currently work full time for ASU and teach a community nutrition course. The students are required to complete at least 10 hours of community service for the course. I would also utilize students with a culinary background to help teach those sections of the course as their are many ist other organizations you are w orking nutrition students with this background. I would also utilize students who w ith on the project and the role of each. are completing honors projects or even working on their Master's Degree to For each organization, indicate if and how encourage some scientific research of the pre/post results. WIC we you have previously w orked w ith this currently work closely with the local WIC offices and the state WIC office. A partner. recent MOU has been established to allow an exchange of information between Head Start and WIC. Most of the Head Start families are also WIC participants. We would ensure that all families enrolled in the Cooking Matters program are also WIC participants and continue with the nutrition education past the time of the course. I n the space provided below , please Maricopa County Head Start received a 5 year grant last year that will take describe your plan to sustain and support the program through 2021. Within this, there is some flexibility in the your program after the end of the grant money spent on food. The program has a purchase order with Fry's Food period. Stores that allows us to purchase the required food items for Cooking Matters, as well as tour the Fry's stores for Cooking Matters at the Store. The plan will be to designate at least $1500.00 per school year towards Cooking Matters to reach at least 20 families per year. While 20 is not a large number, with recent cut backs to the Head Start program, this may be the most realistic amount to consider. https://nokidhungrygrants.force.com/FGM_Portal__CommunityApplicationReview?id=70141000000Ss9nAAC&quizId=a0n41000003euI2AAI&appID=006410000… 6/9 6/16/2017 CM2017 ~ No Kid Hungry Grantee Community Budget Category 1: Food service equipment/appliances Cooking Matters classes will be taught with simple supplies such as a cook Description of item and how it w ill be used: top, knives, measuring cups and serving utensils.
