During the two-and-a-half hour class, children learn tips on food preparation, healthy eating and kitchen safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe first week we started by getting the kids to design their own aprons to get them comfortable in the kitchen and assess their skill level before we started making recipes. We wanted to develop a program where they are excited to learn and be in the kitchen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each week the children learn how to cook a different recipe. To date, they have made banana muffins, monster sandwiches and walking tacos \u2013 they even made their own butter in mason jars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLearning these skills really empower the kids,\u201d she explains. \u201cWe ask the kids for their input when we plan the menu for the next week. Being involved makes it even more exciting for them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s important for families to know we are here to help&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Salvation Army in Moncton works to provide outreach programs for children and youth every summer. In addition to the Kids in the Kitchen program, they provide additional programs such as distributing snacks in community parks every Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEvery summer we work to find creative ways to connect with kids and support families while kids are not in school.
