Silver State Charter Gardens

Silver State Charter Gardens is a garden program that has just begun to 'bud' at the Silver State Charter School. We are based out of Carson City, but serve a population of middle and high school students that live across rural Northern Nevada.  In partnership with the Whole Kids Foundation, our program was piloted this year (2015) at the Middle School.  We use project-based learning to guide our kids as they create their soil, choose their seeds, design their greenhouses, grow their crops, and enjoy their harvest.  

Food for Thought - St. Stephen's School Rome

Food for Thought was born out of the shared aspiration to nourish our students with wholesome and honest food, which informs the choices they make for the health of humans and the environment. Through an interdisciplinary approach our mission is to:

Create and sustain an on-campus edible organic garden that is fully integrated into the curriculum and culture of the school

Nourish our community with healthy, nutritious meals inspired by our garden, Roman culinary traditions and locally sourced food

Seeds of Living Education ( SOLE ) is a terrific organization building school based children's community gardens and sharing garden education with children and families throughout our community. SOLE not only gets lots of children into the gardens, shares healthy tastings, encourages the building of more gardens, offers community events that support happy and healthy families, advocates for healthy food choices in our school cafeterias and shares the giving garden with teachers and classrooms, we share this beautiful garden with the entire community!

Slow Food Miami Garden Program

Since 2007, Slow Food MIami has developed and administered a large school garden program that impacts up to 35,000 students at over 50 elementary, middle and high schools in the Miami-Dade school district.  We give mini grants, install raised garden beds, supply financial resources and educational materials and training to the qualified schools that apply for our grants.  We are very wide reaching and are now going more deeply into the classrooms via curriculum integration and into the cafteterias with garden produce being added to the daliy fare offered to students.  

St John's Lutheran Church Food Pantry

The food pantry at St John's works with area schools to ensure kid friendly, healthy food is available to the members of our community.

 

Through working with the administrators and guidance counselors at area schools we are able to identify families who need help putting a meal on their table. Our food pantry collects non-perishables and strives to provide fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy and animal-based proteins through the generous donations of our parishioners.
