Seeds of Change

We have recently started a 14 bed organic produce garden at our school. Community members will garden in the summer and our third, fourth and fifth graders will take over in September. Our goal is to have a working produce garden within a year, providing fresh produce to our school cafeteria and giving kids healthy alternatives to the typical school lunch.

Three Squares

 We work throughout the San Francisco Bay Area to provide nutrition education and improved access to healthy food in low-income communities.

We run Cooking Matters, a national program created by Share Our Strength, which is a free, hands-on cooking and nutrition series for low-income families. We collaborate with community partners such as schools, health clinics, food pantries, and community centers to make our food system more equitable, three square meals at a time.
