About Stop & Shop and Home Base Partnership
The luncheon will feature recipes from The Home Base Cookbook—which will be sold for $15 across all Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut Stop & Shop stores with 100% of the proceeds going to Home Base, a national nonprofit dedicated to healing the invisible wounds of wars for Veterans, service members, and military families.
Home Base offers life-changing services to veterans and their families, including a wide range of services aimed at improving mental and physical well-being. Their programs focus on addressing the challenges of post-traumatic stress (PTSD), depression, and the broader effects of military service.
The Home Base Cookbook was written by Nicolette Star Maggiolo, R.D., the manager of Clinical and Culinary Nutrition for Home Base, and features over 100 recipes celebrating the vital role food plays to fuel, heal, and connect the lives of Veterans, Service Members, and Military Families.
Attendees will receive a copy of the cookbook.
