Shaver Elementary School

Shaver has a food pantry on-site where there is very limited fresh produce the number one request from families. Shaver plans to engage the entire school in growing food for the food pantry so access to healthy foods will increase; the students will be more likely to eat the produce since they grew it themselves; and the families will feel less stigmatized about using the service since it will be a celebrated aspect of the school. The grant will also open up new possibilities for garden club.
