Grandma's Hands

On today’s episode of the Food Show we’ll spend the hour with Grandma’s Hands. Grandma’s Hands is working to pass on black cultural food traditions to future generations.  Each month, a group of grandparents get together to cook a massive meal, planned by one of the grandma’s. Each participating family receives a hot meal featuring produce from local Black farmers, a bag of groceries so they can prepare the featured dish on their own, a stipend, and an evening of learning and connection.

Featured on the show:

• Vanessa Chambers, Grandma, Grandma’s Hands founder, Rockwood CDC
• Marchane Lawson, Grandma, Grandma's Hands volunteer
• Terry Wattley, Father, Grandma’s Hands participant  
• Chuck Smith, Grandma’s Hands Project Coordinator, Black Food Sovereignty Coalition Co-Director
