Sunday Suppers supports families in making lasting behavior change in the way they purchase, prepare and share healthy food. The organizing vehicle for making this happen is the family meal.

Far from the Norman Rockwell painting of the family gathered around the dinner table, fewer and fewer Americans are sitting down to share a family meal, although its benefits have been well documented. Having regular family meals has transformative power and is linked to enhanced language development and academic achievement, positive interpersonal relationships and lessened drug use, depression and obesity.

Sunday Suppers bridges the gap between food resources and the kitchen table by helping families

• find resources for affordable fresh food,
• learn healthy cooking skills, and
• get the basic kitchen items to cook and share food.

“Among the many wonderful things about being president, the best is that I get to live above the office and see my family every day. We have dinner every night.  It is the thing that sustains me” -President Barack Obama
