Alvord Cares

Alvord Cares was formed three years ago to provide healthy meals and adequate nourishment for Alvord school children during the summer months. As part of the summer nutrition program, a Cooking School is planned each year for the children. There was a wonderful turnout of around 30 children this year who, under adult supervision, completed nine recipes for our lunch-time feast! Here is a favorite recipe from the 2014 Kid’s Café Cooking School:
