Help us launch our pilot program!

Jars of Change, Canning Together Healing Forever-- Will be a program for senior and differently-abled women in Northeast Florida who want to learn how to become more self-sufficient through food preservation and canning. This program will teach students how food preservation and canning can improve their bilateral coordination skills, hand-strengthening skills, hand-eye coordination, and memory retention i.e. occupational therapy. This program aims to improve students' overall well-being while teaching them safe pressure and water bath canning techniques they can implement at home after successful program completion. Our program will be free for women who qualify. To make this happen, we are partnering with the local nonprofit, Challenge Enterprises Inc.
