Our Positive Impact"Taking a cooking class with Rice Beans and Happiness felt like stepping into my abuela's kitchen. As we learned to make pozole, we were immersed in stories, traditions, and the rich cultural heritage behind every ingredient. It was more than a cooking class. It was a meaningful cultural experience. Knowing that a portion of the proceeds supported Mesa Abierta's work to provide meals and cultural programming for local families made the experience even more impactful."
