Last Thursday at August Martin High School, Furthering Fathering, a nonprofit ministry that promotes fatherhood, hosted a culinary workshop to teach men how to cook low-cost meals.
The organization partnered with the office of Councilman Ruben Wills on the event. Together, they started an initiative called “Healing the 100” to support co-parent families.
Led by retired Army National Guard Neno Morris, the workshop taught the attendees how to cook spaghetti with meat sauce, shop for groceries, search for discount items and review nutrition values on a meal.
Councilman Wills praised the event for teaching men to cook for their families.
“A man should be capable of more than simply providing a living for his family. He should also be able to give them proper nourishment by knowing how to stock his home with nutritious foods, and cook a meal,” Wills said. “Possessing these skills helps to build a man’s confidence, and can be passed onto future generations.”
