Volunteers Enjoy Strong, Smart, and Bold Dishes!

By Annie Farrell, Americorps VISTA Fund Development Specialist

In September, Girls Inc. volunteers and guests tasted strong, smart, and boldSM dishes at our Whole Flavors volunteer appreciation event! The event was hosted by the Carmel Whole Foods Market, and registered dietitian Annessa Chumbley of Flourish! demonstrated how to "bring out the strong, smart and boldSM" in everyday cooking by preparing three dishes based on Girls Inc's mission of inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and boldSM! Check out her recipes for the featured dishes:

STRONG Cozy Curried Pumpkin Stew
SMART Squishy Chocolate Cake
BOLD Black Bean and Corn Quinoa


The Whole Foods event was the second in our ongoing series of appreciation events where Girls Inc. celebrates the volunteers who are key to the implementation of our mission. At these events, volunteers have the opportunity to interact with each other and share their experiences while enjoying fun activities. Get involved in upcoming volunteer opportunities! Watch for news of the next volunteer appreciation event in January 2009!
