life skills Classes
At COM, we believe that life is a continual journey of learning. No matter who you are, we all have areas where we can grow. Every week, Project Thrive offers a different class to our partners to learn new skills and tricks for improving financial, social, and physical wellness. Even better, those who successfully complete classes can earn bonus points for use in the food pantry. Check out this month's classes below and sign up here!
You may only sign up for a max of 2 classes per month so that we have enough class spaces for everyone to attend a class.
