Spring into Giving & Support our Spring Giving Campaign!
Our Farm to School program, in collaboration with FoodCorps Georgia, is revolutionizing education by integrating hands-on nutrition and farming lessons into school curriculums. We remove the burden of teaching farm-to-school curriculum off school administration, ensuring greater success in providing these vital lessons to students.
With just ten hours of participation, students show a 54% increase in their preference for fresh fruits and vegetables! This exposure and access is KEY in changing habits and creating healthier futures.
Each partner school has a dedicated service member and garden, which serves as a living classroom. We use lesson plans, cooking demonstrations, and taste tests from the school garden to create interest and exposure to farming and healthy eating. But we need your help!
Our Spring Giving Campaign aims to raise $50,000, and we're currently at $7,976.14. Join us in empowering the next generation towards healthier lifestyles by contributing to our campaign today!
