Impact
Each year, we give 120,000 students increased access to nourishing food at more than 270 schools across the country, and our service corps members teach more than 30,000 hands-on lessons that promote healthy food choices. Studies prove that students who are part of our programming eat 3x more fruits and vegetables and that three in four schools are healthier after just one year of partnership with FoodCorps.
Reputation
FoodCorps is building on more than a decade of proven impact, which allows us to be an effective voice in driving legislation and policies that make healthier food and food education the norm in schools. Our wins include federal support for food education, school meals for all, and increased farm to school grant funds in several states. Our partners, their employees and families share and benefit from the good that comes from those wins.
The Future
FoodCorps’ programs nourish the whole child, providing kids with access to healthier meals, food education, and culturally affirming experiences with food that are vital to their wellbeing and success. We’re creating a future where every child, in every school, experiences the joy and power of food.
Equity
Racial and social justice are always at the center of the change we seek and our path toward it. Our school and community partnerships invest in the resources, people, and policies that dismantle systemic inequities and make hands-on food education and nourishing meals in schools the norm.
