18 Reasons Food As Medicine VISTA
 
 
 
18 Reasons is a nonprofit that increases food security through the power of home cooking. Our mission is to empower our community with the confidence and creativity needed to buy, cook, and eat good food every day. Our vision is to create belonging through the transformative and healing power of home cooking. We offer food education programs to the community through two different channels. At our 18th Street Kitchen in San Francisco, we host paid cooking classes with chefs from around the world, and ticket sales help support our free community programming. Through our free Community Programs, we offer grocery donations paired with free cooking and nutrition classes to families on a limited budget throughout the Bay Area. This position will primarily support one of our fastest growing community programs, Food as Medicine. The Food as Medicine program supports participants in managing their health by delivering nutritious groceries to their front door, paired with hands-on cooking skills and nutrition education in a supportive community environment. Our Food as Medicine program is delivered in partnership with healthcare providers.
