Community Volunteers Level Up with Tzu Chi’s Plant-Based Culinary Training

Let them cook!

6 of our dedicated Community Volunteers from our Hunger Relief Program in Naic, Bulacan, and Tondo recently had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the Hands-On Culinary Training led by the amazing Veg-Up Team of Tzu Chi Foundation.

Our volunteers dove deep into learning about nutrition in plant-based diets, discovering creative ways to integrate healthy, plant-based meals into menus, and even presenting their own menu cycles!

We are deeply grateful for the continued support of the Tzu Chi Foundation. This training empowers our volunteers to bring even more nourishing meals to the families we serve.

Thank you for walking alongside us in this journey of compassion!
