FoodCorps is proud to be part of the AmeriCorps Service Network. We receive a portion of our funding from the agency. For the rest, we rely on corporate, foundation, and individual philanthropic partners.
What impact will my donation have?
Your support enables FoodCorps to reach 106,000+ students every year with increased access to nourishing food at more than 250 schools across the country. And, our service corps members teach more than 15,000 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.
FoodCorps builds on your foundation of support and our more than a decade of proven impact to drive toward legislative wins for food education, school meals for all, and increased farm to school grant funds.
Together, by 2030, we are working toward an ambitious but attainable goal: that every child in this country has access to food education and nourishing meals in school.
