Mission Statement
Inspiring better food systems and nurturing everyday health in our communities.
About This Cause
We support non-profits in our communities whose main mission or innovative programs focus on: - Increasing the supply of organic food - Improving access to fresh, healthy food - Providing hunger relief for vulnerable populations - Advancing childhood nutrition education Increasing the supply of organic food: Supporting organic farmers who work hard every day to grow healthier food options. More organic food means healthier soil, cleaner air, and more tasty, nutritious food for families. For example: efforts to increase the number of certified organic farms through cost share, outreach and training. Improving access to fresh, healthy food: We see food as medicine. Underserved communities and those facing serious illness or diet-related disease need it most. For example: mobile markets and meal delivery to at-risk community members. Providing hunger relief for vulnerable populations: Doing our part to alleviate hunger in our communities, always through the lens of healthy, nutritious food. For example: farm-to-food bank initiatives and community garden programs. Advancing childhood nutrition education: Creating space and opportunity for kids to adopt healthy eating practices when it matters most. Meaningful, hands-on food learning in the classroom, cafeteria and in the garden. For example: school gardens, backpack programs and nutrition education efforts.
