About the Program:
Our goal with the garden is to be able to teach the kids at Raines that the foods we eat grow from the ground and that healthy food will sustain healthy bodies for the future. I want kids to obtain a new way of thinking about food and why they should avoid the processed foods they sell down the block. Through tasting new fruits and veggies they grow and cooking demonstrations this grant will allow kids to see that healthy whole foods are delicious and possible to access in their community.
