For 16 women in Northern Kentucky, it took about 40 hours of instruction to become a Champion Food Volunteer-in-training. Now the real work can begin.
The University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service began Champion Food Volunteers as a way to teach people more about nutrition, food safety, food preparation and demonstration. In return, the trainees will become trainers over the next year as they “pay back” 40 hours by volunteering and giving food demonstrations in counties throughout Northern Kentucky.
