Oregon State University Extension is partnering with a number of groups to offer a free community meal and cooking class on the second Monday of each month beginning this coming Monday. OSU Extension’s Lauren Kraemer says they will hold the event at the FISH Food Bank in Hood River, and it’s an effort to get people to unite around food, and learn how to use it better. The first class will be on meal planning, with future classes to highlight shopping and cooking. Dinner will be at 5 p.m. on Monday with the class to follow at 6 p.m. For information call 541-386-3343. The class will be in both English and Spanish.
