The Granny Project
Recipes from Grandmothers from across the Globe
CASA has partnered with Heart Smiles for The Granny Project, a youth-led initiative dedicated to fighting food insecurity in Baltimore City. It is a true demonstration of the power of community and cultural diversity. In each season, we celebrate the different community leaders, affectionately known as “Grannies,” who represent a wide range of cultural backgrounds. These Grannies generously share their cherished recipes and traditions with us. During each session, the youth bond with strong community leaders who share their life journeys with them.
