The mission of the Charlie Cart Project is to equip the next generation with the knowledge and skills to make healthy choices through hands-on cooking. We provide educators and community partners with tools, resources, and support for food education to improve nutritional access for all. We envision a world where nourishing and fresh food is at the center of a thriving community.
