For nearly three decades, Rose Padilla Johnson has led San Leandro, California’s Davis Street Community Center as chief executive officer. During her time with the center, Rose Padilla Johnson has assisted in the development of numerous programs, including cooking classes with a focus on nutrition. A proper diet is one of the most overlooked components of a healthy, well-functioning family environment. At the Davis Street Community Center's state-of-the-art Demonstration Kitchen, families can gain hands-on experience in the area of nutritional meal preparation. Demonstration Kitchen classes are led by professional nutritionists and wellness coaches who not only teach individuals and families how to cook healthy meals, but educate students on how to make smarter, healthier food decisions while adhering to a tight budget. Classes are made possible in part thanks to grocery donations made by community members and local food pantries. The kitchen currently provides classes in English, Spanish, and Cantonese.
