Our goal: by 2030, every child has access to food education and nourishing food in school.

In September 2022, FoodCorps launched our Nourishing Futures initiative, a commitment grounded in equity that seeks to ensure all 50 million students learn about food and have access to nourishing, free meals in school by 2030.
This commitment was announced in collaboration with the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, where the Biden Administration unveiled a national strategy to end hunger and increase access to healthy food.
Partner with schools and districts to advance their goals for food education and school nutrition, expanding FoodCorps programming to reach 500,000 students a year.
Prepare 1,000 BIMPOC (Black, Indigenous, Multiracial, People of Color) emerging leaders for mission-driven careers in food education and school nutrition.
Mobilize 1 million supporters for policies that expand free school meals; fund food educators; update garden, kitchen, and cafeteria infrastructure; strengthen local supply chains; and, support the food education and school nutrition workforce.
Together we will nourish futures for every student. Share your email address, and we'll make sure you have the tools to take action and join the movement for food education and free, nourishing meals in school.
