POV: youโre the coolest kid at breakfast. ๐๐๐
Chef hat: ON.
Strawberry smoothie: secured.
Banana dunk: elite.
Smile for the camera: not happening. ๐
But behind the cool look is something serious: kids shouldnโt have to learn on an empty stomach.
This Hunger Month, weโre on a mission to make sure every student has access to a nutritious breakfast because food is fuel for learning, growing, playing, and thriving.
Weโre back to serving breakfast to the entire school, and your donation can help us keep the plates full and the good vibes going. ๐

๐ 100,000 snacks. ONE BIG MISSION. ๐ฅ
Our goal? Get nearly 100,000 fruit & veggie snacks into the hands of children.
Thatโs nearly 100,000 chances to fuel little bodies, build healthy habits, and make a difference one snack at a time.
Big goal. Bigger impact. ๐
Letโs get snacking.
Letโs get donating. #linkinbio ๐๐ฅฆ๐

Every child deserves a colorful plate and a healthy start. ๐โค๏ธ
This Hunger Action Month, weโre jumping into action with two Eat a Rainbow Farmers Markets! We will deliver fresh, nutritious fruits and vegetables directly to the Title I student families we serve. More importantly our lessons inspire kids to taste produce and discover the benefits on their bodies.
For some families, fresh produce can be difficult to access. Together, we can help change that. Are you in? One bag of fresh fruits and veggies, one family, and one act of generosity at a time.
Your donation can put healthy food within reach for a family in our community. No gift is too small, and every dollar helps us make a meaningful difference.

A throwback to the sweet note we received from one of our students who participated in one of our Cookin` Up Breakfast mornings. โค๏ธ
Arlene drew this special picture and wrote:
"Thank you for the food and your time. It was so good. One of my favorite things to do is cooking."
Notes like this remind us why these mornings matter.
Thank you to everyone who supports this program by donating, volunteering, and sharing your time. Your generosity helps create meaningful experiences for students like Arlene. We are back to breakfast this month, and we couldn`t do it without you!

Your donation supports nutrition lessons like Hydrating Through the Rainbow.
"Grapefruit is my favorite!" - said one happy taster
We visited schools during parent nights in 2025-26 with a hydration station bursting with fresh flavors! Families sampled a crisp cruditรฉ featuring hydrating fruits and veggies, then took home produce-packed bags with recipes and hydration tips to help boost their daily water intake.
The juicy results:
๐ฅ 6,800 fresh produce snack opportunities distributed through take-home bags
๐๐ฅฌ 541 tastings of spinach, grapefruit, and cucumber
๐ฆ Countless smiles, new favorite snacks, and healthy hydration habits inspired
Every bite was a splash of nutrition, proving that healthy choices can be fresh, fun, and delicious! Your gift expands this opportunity in 2026-27!
