Campaign for LGBTQ+ youth culinary program in DC launches

Washington (DC News Now) — The Wanda Alston Foundation, which helps young homeless and at-risk members of the LGBTQ+ community, said it is looking to provide some of those young people with cooking skills and “a taste for joy” through its “Slay & Sauté” campaign.

The effort, which is in partnership with DC Front Runners and the DC Front Runners Pride Run 5K, hopes to raise $15,000.

The goal is to provide LGBTQ+ youth whom the foundation supports with air fryers, rice cookers, smoothie blenders, healthy foods, and condiments. Additionally, the campaign is intended to help launch monthly cooking classes, teaching young people how to prepare fun and affordable meals.
