Food For Thought

Food for Thought provides students with a federally reimbursed breakfast “in the classroom.” In each participating school, breakfasts are delivered directly to the classroom, where students and teachers spend the first 10 minutes of the school day eating breakfast together. During these 10 minutes of communal time, teachers can take attendance, lead students through a focused activity on health and wellness, and build a familial learning community.

The Northpoint Unity Garden and Monarch Waystation is a one-year old program that was created to revamp an used outdoor space.  It resides in an interior courtyard at an elementary school and is home to a vegetable and herb garden, feathered friends and a newly created Monarch Waystation.  We believe in partnering with community organizations to tap into areas of expertise to best educate our youth in grades K-5.

DC Central Kitchen: Locally Sourced, Scratch-Cooked School Meals

 Across America, a new movement has emerged urging schools to offer healthier food options to children. The movement for tastier school food, called for by kids of all ages, is much older.

At DC Central Kitchen, we are proving that healthy, scratch-cooked meals can be enjoyable for children, affordable for school districts, and valuable for teachers who need children to be nourished and focused.
