Healthy Connections Classes
Community Food Co-op offers cooking and health and well-being classes
throughout the year.Each season includes several free
classes, so there's something for every budget. Cooking classes
emphasize whole and organic ingredients, and when possible,
fresh local produce.
All classes (unless noted) are held at either the Downtown Co-op’s Connection Building (on the south side of the parking lot on Forest Street) or the Local Roots Room, which is upstairs at the Cordata Co-op. Please park off site if possible.
To register for classes
Pre-payment is required to secure your space. Some classes
have limited enrollment, while others may be cancelled due
to low enrollment, so it is recommended that you register
as soon as possible.There are different registration procedures for classes offered in partnership with Whatcom Community Collge and those not involved in this partnership. To register for classes presented in partnership with WCC, please call (360) 383-3200 or go to www.communityed.com For all other classes, register in person at the Service Desk of either Co-op store, or call (360) 734-8158 (credit card only).
