CHANGING GRAND RAPIDS ONE PLATE AT A TIME.

THIS YEAR THE DOWNTOWN MARKET TEACHING KITCHEN TEAMED UP WITH THE GRAND RAPIDS URBAN LEAGUE TO TEACH CULINARY SKILLS AND NUTRITION TO THE “URBAN FELLOWS” AND “OUR GIRLS ROCK” SUMMER YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS. A GROUP OF FIFTEEN YOUNG ADULTS WORKED WITH OUR CHEFS TO LEARN BASIC KNIFE SKILLS, CULINARY SCIENCE AND COOKING HEALTHY ON A BUDGET. THESE STUDENTS GOT TO KNOW OUR STAFF AND A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP GREW.

These young leaders came back for chef demonstrations, planted gardens with heirloom vegetables grown in the Market Greenhouse and were mentored by Market Hall merchants. At the end of their summer, they planned, prepped, and served dinner, along with delivering their

business “pitch” at the Downtown Market.

Through partnerships like these, the Downtown Market Education Foundation is helping to improve community health through nutrition and economic development, one plate at a time.
