Local Food to School Program Expanding

The Local Food to School Program continues to grow, strengthening our local food system. The Food is Elementary program has expanded and we now connect with over 900 children each week! There are also 60 teachers and hundreds of parents, interns and volunteers....all experiencing delicious local foods, preparing simple, healthy dishes, learning more about health and wellness and gaining insight one person at a time. That is what has been so exciting to see, the changes happening in our system. Any change on a system level requires partnerships, multi-level programming and continually assessing our work to make sure we are what the community needs.
