Learn to Cook (and Make a Friend) at This Free Class
The nonprofit Vetri Community Partnership is on a mission to teach Philadelphians how to cook healthy meals. So every other Tuesday, VCP offers free community cooking classes where participants not only cook but also eat a family-style meal together. Host Trenae Nuri sits down with Maddy Booth, CEO of Vetri Community Partnership, to talk about why these classes both combat loneliness and make Philly healthier.
