Why Your Support Matters

  Federal nutrition programs were just cut by $186 billion, eliminating opportunities for kids to learn how to nourish themselves.

All kids need hands-on food education to lead healthy lives.
Your gift today will bring life-changing food education to children who need it most, no matter the circumstances.
