APRIL & Kelly's Kitchen are Excited to Present...A Four-Course Series on the Intersection of Food Justice and Disability Justice

APRIL is excited to partner with Kelly's Kitchen to provide a four-course series on the intersection of food justice and disability justice. Kelly's Kitchen is a national non-profit organization based out of Charleston, South Carolina that promotes healthy nutrition in the whole community, with a focus on providing education on ways to access healthy food, explore employment possibilities in the food and beverage industry for people with disabilities, ensure food security, and learn healthy preparation techniques.

Oftentimes, populations who need support, resources, and access to food security resources the most are the ones who already face inequities and barriers.

Join us for this free four-course series on the second Tuesday of the month February - May 2024 from 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm EST.

Please Note: Course #2 will be held on the THIRD Tuesday of the month (March), which is March 19, 2024.

Visit the APRIL website to register.

Why Four-Courses?

Just like a four-course dinner, we will be bringing you content that starts light and easy and gets more detailed and application-based as the sessions progress.

Each course will focus on a different topic that will build on top of one another. You will get the most out of attending all four courses, however you can attend whichever session(s) feel the most beneficial for you and the disabled community members you serve and support. The registration link below will register you for all four courses.

ASL and CART provided as needed. Please be sure to include accommodation requests in your registration. 

Requests for accommodations must be provided at least two weeks prior to each course meeting date.

This means that you need to register for this series at least two weeks prior to the course you would like to attend.
