🌽🍅 Happy National Farmers Market Week! 🥕🍇 We’re thrilled to celebrate with you at Plant Chicago’s Farmers Market! 🎉 Join us every third Saturday of the month as Common Threads brings you fresh, fun, and flavorful cooking demos right from the heart . 👩🍳 Supporting farmers and local produce is vital for a thriving community. By choosing local, we not only enjoy fresher, tastier food but also strengthen our local economy and reduce our environmental footprint. Every purchase helps local farmers sustain their livelihoods and promotes sustainable farming practices. Plus, it’s a great way to connect with the people growing our food and to nurture a healthier, more resilient food system. Get inspired by seasonal flavors, learn new recipes, and celebrate the rich bounty of our local farms.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We’re thrilled to announce a powerful partnership between Common Threads and Superior HealthPlan! 🙌 Thanks to a generous sponsorship from Superior HealthPlan, we're set to distribute 150 fresh, locally sourced produce boxes to families in need. 🥕🍎🥦 These boxes will provide a week's worth of organic fruits and veggies for a family of four, directly impacting around 600 children and families in El Paso. 🌟 Plus, they’ll be a part of our nutrition education and culinary skills programs, equipping families with the knowledge to make healthy choices. On Thursday, July 24, we celebrated this partnership with a special presentation of the check from Superior HealthPlan to our El Paso Program Manager, Victoria Aragon. This collaboration was a significant step toward enhancing food and nutrition security and bridging health disparities in our community. 💪❤️ Together, we’re making a difference—one produce box at a time! 🌍✨ #CommonThreads #SuperiorHealthPlan #CommunityImpact #NutritionEducation #HealthyEating #ElPaso #FoodSecurity

This week, Common Threads teamed up with our partners at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield /Elevance Health, iHeartMedia, and the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) for an exciting, jam-packed two days at College Park Elementary School in Atlanta! 🎉 We had an incredible time working with students, families, and staff through cooking activities and nutrition education programs. The students cooked up some yummy treats in our Small Bites and A Taste of College Park programs👩🍳, while lucky 5th graders enjoyed our "Manners Matter" program focusing on dining etiquette at the Georgia International Convention Center. Huge thanks to our partners and the dedicated Common Threads team for making this event possible! 🙌 #NutritionEducation #CommunityPartnerships #FoodIsMedicine

We're incredibly grateful for the support of our partners – Elevance Health/ Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, iHeartMedia, and the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association)! 🌟 Without them, we wouldn't be able to bring impactful programs to life, making a difference in nutrition education nationwide. Their unwavering dedication fuels our mission, and we're privileged to have such remarkable partners on our side. Thank you for your continued collaboration and commitment!
This week rounded out our second year of Common Threads programming that provided students, families and staff with cooking and nutrition education at College Park Elementary School in Atlanta. The school’s 5th graders took a field trip to the Georgia International Convention Center, where they were treated to a multi-course meal as part of the “Manners Matter” interactive experience focused on teaching basic etiquette and the importance of not only enjoying a meal, but also the company dining with you. And, last night’s Taste of College Park event showcased the healthy snacks that students learned how to make through Common Thread’s Small Bites program. This was true partnership at work with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, iHeartMedia, Common Threads and Atlanta Dream WNBA to help improve the health of our communities.
