Current Classes Offered at the Mission
LUNCH & LEARN: NUTRITION
Looking for ways to make the most of your grocery money? Come to The Mission's Lunch & Learn monthly nutrition class. Different community partners, such as Glean KY, Food Chain, and Fayette County UK Extension Office, will be leading this time. Each time we are together there will be a kitchen tool, everything needed to make your own meal at home, and an opportunity to win a door prize. Hope to see you this month on the third Tuesday at noon in the dining hall.
LUNCH & LEARN: LIFE SKILLS
We want neighbors to have the skills and knowledge to make good use of their resources. The first Tuesday of the month we would like to invite you to lunch at the mission to explore and discuss topics such as finance, budgeting, banking, home energy, and housing rights and issues. Community partners such as Thivant Finance, Blue Grass Green Source, and Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission, will lead the workshop.
