Donate to FoodCorps
Nourish Futures for Every Student
Join us in supporting every kid’s health and wellbeing. Make a gift today.
$36 supports one year of access to food education and nourishing school meals for one student.
One in five kids in the U.S. aren’t getting the nourishment they need to grow, learn, and thrive. That’s why FoodCorps partners with schools and communities to nourish kids’ health, education, and sense of belonging so that every child, in every school, experiences the joy and power of food. When you give to FoodCorps, you’re helping create a future where all kids have access to nourishing meals, food education, and culturally affirming experiences with food that will benefit them for a lifetime.
FoodCorps is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law.

“Food is love in its purest form. Whenever families get together, it’s generally around food. Same thing at schools. Mealtime is very, very important and kids who are hungry don’t learn. So food is love.”
– Marie Johnson, Student Nutrition Program Coordinator, Farmington Municipal Schools
