Outreach

Honest Weight is committed to sharing our mission through our outreach and education programs.

You can find our small Outreach team all over the Capital District teaching adults and children at schools, libraries, and community organizations about growing produce, preparing natural foods, and developing healthy, sustainable ways of living for both our families and the planet.

In 2006 Honest Weight created the Ready, Set, Grow! Program to bring fun cooking and nutritional activities into local schools and libraries. Classes like "Want to Eat a Rainbow?", "Amazing Grains", and "Hip Dips" introduce students (grades K-12) to a variety of healthy, natural and locally grown foods. Students engage in fun food-related activities, receive age appropriate nutritional information, and get to taste a healthy new snack in the process. All to help them make better food choices as they grow up.

Outreach also oversees event sponsorhip; donation drives; our annual giving of 5% of our profits, and our Enviro Tokens program. 

If you would like to learn what kind of class or presentation Honest Weight can offer your school or organization - or if you would like to partner with the Co-op on helping us provide outreach to the larger community - please contact our Outreach Coordinator, Amy Ellis, at 518-482-2667 or click here to contact us.
