Help The NCCF By Hosting a Feast That Helps Youth Living in Bethesda’s Greentree Adolescent Program Explore New Cultures

By MCS Staff

Help The National Center for Children and Families (NCCF) by hosting a “Tasty Tuesday feast” that helps the youth living in the Greentree Adolescent Program (GAP) to expand their palettes and explore new cultures.

Tasty Tuesday is a program designed to keep our youth engaged during this challenging period of isolation. We come together (with safe social distancing) for an exciting meal exploring new cuisines and learning about various cultures through food. The excitement in trying a new food for the very first time with their peer group has provided a bonding experience and fostered a team atmosphere. The youth are boldly trying new flavors and enjoying learning about the culture behind the cuisine. As a group we have learned how to use chopsticks correctly; tasted a Persian dish the donor’s grandmother used to make for her when she was a child; and learned that dodgeball originated in India. Some “fan favorites” included Korean glass noodles, dumplings, Pad Thai, and Samosas.
