Little Red Hen Kitchen Day Program

The Kitchen Day Program is one of several adult day programs run by Little Red Hen, a Chico nonprofit whose stores help fund services for children and adults with developmental disabilities. Participants build life skills through hands-on cooking, meal planning and grocery shopping, along with lessons on nutrition and self-care. The program shares its East Avenue location with Little Red Hen's kitchen store, so most online reviews describe the shop rather than the program. It is licensed by the California Department of Social Services as an Adult Day Program for up to 35 participants.

Activities include cooking, meal planning and grocery shopping, with lessons on nutrition, preparing balanced meals and self-care. Little Red Hen publishes a monthly activity schedule for the program and also runs Artisan, Park & Garden and LAB day programs and a job development program.

The program is at 959 East Ave, Chico, CA 95926. Google lists hours of Tuesday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which may reflect the store, so confirm the program schedule.
