Share Our Strength’s, Operation Frontline®
AmeriCorps National Direct Program
AmeriCorps Assignment and Project Description
Share Our Strength’s Operation Frontline is a ground-breaking nutrition education program that helps families by teaching them how to prepare healthy low-cost meals and receive the most nutrition from a limited budget. Since 1993, the program has utilized the strengths of professional chefs, nutritionists and financial advisors in roles as volunteer instructors, teaching classes for adults, teens and children living on low incomes.
Operation Frontline offers seven specialized courses that take a cooking-centered approach to nutrition and household budgeting. Nutrition courses are taught by chefs and nutritionists who volunteer their talents to teach families how to make healthy food choices on a limited budget. Courses are offered for adults, teens, children, parents and children together, and those living with HIV/AIDS, and include four or six two-hour sessions. Each class includes hands-on meal preparation led by a chef who teaches participants that cooking healthy foods can be simple, enjoyable, and delicious. Many local programs also recruit financial professionals to offer our money management curriculum, Saving Smart Spending Smart.
Share Our Strength is seeking AmeriCorps members to help with its local partnering program for Operation Frontline at the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle in Raleigh, NC.

About the Food Shuttle and Operation Frontline:
Since 1989, the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle (IFFS), in the belief that hunger is unacceptable, alleviates hunger by developing systems to recover, prepare and distribute wholesome, perishable food for the area's poor, hungry, undernourished and homeless neighbors.
Operation Frontline (OFL), developed nationally by Share our Strength and presented locally by IFFS, is a ground-breaking cooking-based nutrition education program for families in need. The goal is to create a long-term solution to hunger by giving people the confidence and ability to be more self-sufficient in their food choices and behaviors.
IFFS is constantly striving to increase the number of families who benefit from Operation Frontline’s cooking-based nutrition education. One innovative approach that has proven effective for several Operation Frontline (OFL) programs across the country is establishing “satellite partnerships.”
By establishing satellite partnerships, the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle will be able to:
Serve more families and individuals without increasing our staff
Expand geographic reach within existing service areas
Fulfill demands for OFL classes in areas that haven’t previously been serviceable
Utilize volunteer and community interests by capitalizing on your community ties.
