THE MISSION

Making a measurable difference

FoodCorps helps provide kids with nourishing meals, food education, and culturally affirming experiences with food, and advocates for policies that promote every kid’s health and well-being. The organization collaborates with partners inside and outside the school system—including school nutrition leaders, nonprofit organizations, community groups, and government officials—to support every student’s health, education, and sense of belonging.

This work has shown changes in students’ behavior, attitudes towards eating and trying foods, and the amount of nourishing food offered in schools. In fact, students in FoodCorps schools with more hands-on learning activities are eating up to three times the amount of fruits and vegetables as students who receive less of that hands-on learning.
