EOW - Lunch Program and Life Skills

Equal Opportunities West looks to nourish both the body and the mind with a lunch program.

Many of the programs individuals start with little knowledge of good nutrition. The lunch program introduces participants to new, healthy food options as well as various ways to prepare them. While it make take a little time with some of the dishes, individuals come away enjoying these better-for-you choices which keep them properly fuelled for their day ahead.

The kitchen also lends itself as a teaching tool. Learning basic food preparation and cooking techniques, serving skills and clean-up not only breeds confidence and independence, but it adds a valuable skill set which has lead to participants obtaining jobs in the foodservice and hospitality industry.

During the lunch hour group participants also learn the value of table manners and proper meal etiquette. While it may seem trivial, it is an important part of social interaction, whether it be out with friend, family, or in a work environment.
