Evidence
To date we have interacted with over 100 individuals with surveys to find what items individuals might want to learn to cook, what hardships they faced in cooking at home or for a family, what cooking devices might they need or want at home, would they be interested in attending a class. Over 70 individuals indicated an interest in taking a class. As well a number of people volunteered to help with classes or to donate cooking utensils and other items.
