18 Reasons
18 Reasons is a nonprofit that increases food security through the power of home cooking. Through hands-on cooking classes, we empower our community with the confidence and creativity needed to buy, cook, and eat good food every day. At our 18th Street Kitchen in San Francisco, paid classes reach curious home cooks with the means to pay for instruction. Here we host hands-on cooking classes, baking workshops, tasting seminars and food-focused events. We also offer four, multi-week cooking and nutrition education programs for youth, families, adults, and birthing parents: Cooking Matters, Planned & Prepped, Food As Medicine (FAM) and Nourishing Pregnancy. Each year, we teach thousands of families to buy, cook, and eat good food on a limited budget. Join us on our mission to empower our community with the confidence and creativity to buy, cook, and eat good food every day!
