AAPI Voices: When Food is a Love Language
In this new video, you’ll hear from both kids and adults in FoodCorps partner schools in California, Georgia, and New York about how FoodCorps service members has helped transform their cafeterias and classrooms.
Prior to the service term, all 228 FoodCorps AmeriCorps service members gather in Portland, Oregon for a week of training and cohort-building. Here’s what they had to say about this year’s National Orientation that took place earlier this month.
