Shop 4% Friday on February 24th to Support Mount Vernon Library Trial by Flavor

Mount Vernon City Library’s Trial By Flavor program introduces patrons to healthy and diverse food choices by offering them inspiration, information, and encouragement. Trial By Flavor consists of a free kit of recipes and information focused on a particular flavor profile, seasoning, or ingredient, along with many of the non-perishable ingredients for making a particular recipe. The take-home kits are complimented with demonstrations by local chefs.

Live cooking programs will be held in the library and demo videos are filmed in the library and available on YouTube and TV10. The kits and demos combine to remove some of the obstacles to trying new foods and cooking at home. Mount Vernon City Library’s mission is to support lifelong learning and strengthen the community, individuals, and families.

The Trial By Flavor program supports this mission by encouraging cooking skills, access to affordable and nutritious foods, and spending time with friends and family for a meal.

How Will Your Shopping Trip Support Trial by Flavor?

Funds from 4% Friday will be used to expand the program, including offering 8 editions of the program in 2023, with 100 take home kits for each edition.
