6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

18 Reasons, a food education non-profit, wants to empower you with the confidence and creativity needed to buy, cook, and eat good food every day. Cooking Matters, a six-week course in cooking and nutrition, led by a chef, a nutritionist, and other knowledgeable staff, will guide you through the ins and outs of cooking delicious, healthy foods on a budget. Eating fresh and healthy doesn't have to break your bank and 18 Reasons will show you how to stretch your grocery dollar without sacrificing flavor or your health. Registration for the entire six-week course is $100 per student and attendance at all six sessions is required. Basic kitchen confidence is prerequisite. Program registration fee includes course materials, in-class recipe ingredients, and some take-home groceries. Note that the final class will take place off-site and you will be responsible for transportation to the alternate location (to be in the neighborhood of our 1155 Market. St. headquarters). Spots in this fun and educational cooking class series are limited, so secure your participation by contacting Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316 to RSVP and submit your program registration fee. Deadline to register is Monday, May 29th. In observance of minimum registration requirements for the Cooking Matters team, please be advised that we must register a minimum of eight students or the class will be cancelled.

10:00 am: Knitting

10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Jul 5

Every week, our knitters gather to share their purls of wisdom and get in the loop on each other’s latest project, and usually end up in stitches spinning yarns. Whether you knit for pleasure, distraction or just practical economics, or you’ve never done it before and want to give it a try, there’s always room for another loom. Learn, refine, or teach a skill that makes your gift-giving budget lighter weight or support a student-led altruistic project like knitting chemo caps, beanies for babies, lap blankets or other creative applications.

For more info, needle Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316.
