We’re incredibly fortunate to have some of the best partners around—especially .knox. You truly couldn’t find kinder people, and the sense of community they’ve created in such a small space is something special.

We get by with a little help from our friends—and by “a little,” we mean enormously helpful, like our friends at United Way of Greater Knoxville! They’ve supported us time and time again, and we truly love and appreciate them.

Most recently, they hosted an all-day Hack-a-thon with 123Tech , pairing expert IT professionals with local nonprofits to help build, troubleshoot, and solve whatever challenges we brought to the table. It was an incredible experience, and we’re so grateful to be part of such a supportive community!

LCBC is grateful to Shades of Development for their partnership and amazing support of our after-school cooking classes!

Generosity comes from the heart,
It can't be taught,
It can't be bought,
But Love and Compassion,
Are a good start.

LCBC would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Impossible for their generous sponsorship. Not only did they provide the delicious plant-based “meat” for our meatball recipes, but they also supplied an abundance of free coupons for our kids and volunteers. The kids had a great time making the meatballs, and everyone truly enjoyed tasting them!

At LCBC, we believe that all people deserve access to affordable and nutritious food. But we know that access alone is not enough! In order to eat healthy food, you need to actually like healthy food — and better yet, know how to prepare it for yourself and your family. That is where we come in — Our mission is to make healthy cooking fun, engaging, and accessible to children in underserved communities. We teach kids the skills they need to prepare nutritious meals, while fostering a love for vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and other healthy foods. In our after-school cooking classes, kids make full recipes, and eat a full meal at the end of class. Along the way they learn foundational skills like chopping, peeling, measuring, reading a recipe, and cooking over a stovetop, all while building confidence, independence and of course - having fun!

This Giving Season, we are raising funds to expand our healthy cooking program to more schools, community centers and after-school programs in under-served communities. Join one of our giving levels to make a difference!
