MRU hosts free cooking classes for students on a budget

Mount Royal University has launched a new food security initiative called NourishU that teaches students how to budget, grocery shop, and cook. The program is meant to help students make the most of limited budgets and empower them with skills that extend beyond the kitchen. Students who sign up for NourishU receive access to a free hands-on cooking class, a $100 grocery store gift card, information about free food assistance and campus resources, and cooking essentials such as a cutting board. The three-hour cooking classes are scheduled throughout January, February, and March.
