Each year, Cooking Matters volunteers empower thousands of families with the skills and confidence to prepare healthy, affordable meals. We offer programming in over 50 counties throughout Colorado through a variety of local partnerships. Check out our programming and event calendar for opportunities to get involved in your community.

How to Use This Calendar:

• This calendar reflects our work across Colorado. Settings default to include all events for all of our team members across the state. Use the Search Options to narrow down opportunities that work best for you.
  • Select desired categories in “Event Filters” and click “Search” if you want to look for specific types of opportunities.
  • Search by zip code (plus an optional radius) to find opportunities nearest you.
  • Searching by “Coordinator Name” is primarily intended for internal use. However, if you are looking to work with a specific coordinator, enter their name and click “Search.”
• To volunteer, simply click on an event, enter your information, and click “Submit.”
• Volunteers are asked to complete a New Volunteer Training before your first course or tour. If you have not yet been trained, please search the Calendar to sign up for a training near you.
  • Select “Trainings,” enter a zip code (plus optional radius), and click “Search.”
  • If no trainings appear to be offered in your area, contact Becky Mares at bmares@strength.org to be connected to the Cooking Matters representative in your community.

Volunteering, or sharing our strengths, is a way to create community wealth.
