Nutrition and Cooking Demonstration


For National Library week in April 2024, GHS-All of Us and the La Crescent Public Library of Minnesota would like to host a community nutrition event. This event would be an engagement opportunity for All of Us, with a table display and a short presentation. The cooking demonstration will be facilitated by Anna Kitzmann, Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist, who is part of a larger group at Gundersen Health System, called Plant Partners: healthcare professionals who believe food is medicine. Attendees will be able to engage, ask questions, sample all healthy recipes, and will leave the event with All of Us brochures and information, as well as copies of all the recipes made. This event will be held at the La Crescent Community Center, near the library and centrally located in the heart of the city. The space has a stove, but we would need to purchase all other supplies needed to cook, such as cutting boards, knives, pants, pots, etc. The library Director, Jess Witkins, has noted a need for new cookbooks, as well as diet specific books, such as Cooking for Diabetes. Our goal is to use the funds to create excitement and education around nutritious meals and home cooking, while providing future resources for the La Crescent community.
