Operation Frontline® in Chicago—Come Cook with Us!

Share Our Strength’s Operation Frontline® is a nutrition education program that mobilizes volunteer chefs and nutritionists to teach adults, kids, and teens how to prepare delicious, healthy and low-cost meals. The key to our success is our hands-on approach to teaching about healthy eating—at Operation Frontline our classroom is the kitchen! Local chefs and nutritionists teach Operation Frontline classes throughout Chicago and the program is free to the community.

Near North Health Service Corporation (NNHSC) is proud to offer Operation Frontline® as part of its nutrition services at its health centers in Chicago. Since it began managing the program in Chicago over 10 years ago, NNHSC has provided over 350 Operation Frontline classes city-wide and touched over 3,000 families with meaningful and life-changing tools. NNHSC provides this program to its own clients and also partners with other agencies throughout the city to provide this meaningful program to Chicago communities.

If you are an agency or organization interested in providing innovative and meaningful nutrition education to the people you serve, we invite you to partner with us. Near North Health Service Corporation has a long history of collaborating with neighborhood social service agencies around Chicago where Operation Frontline classes are held.
