Building a strong foundation

Operation Frontline is a groundbreaking cooking based nutrition education program that teaches families how to prepare healthy, tasty meals on a limited budget.

We provide knowledge and skills that help surround kids facing hunger with healthy foods where they live, learn and play. We believe that the negative health and economic effects of hunger and poor diet can be avoided if families know how to shop for and prepare healthy, low cost meals.
