About four years ago, I stumbled across Coalition for Healthy School Food. At the time, I was trying figure out my concentration for the Master's of Public Health program that I was starting. As a vegan, who is passionate about learning ways which nutrition impacts our society, this organization seemed like a perfect match. I began to volunteer regularly, later being asked join the Junior Council...and I never looked back! I support this organization’s mission and I want it to have a greater impact on the community. The Coalition works tirelessly to bring nutrition education and healthy food to children across the country, but what touches me the most is the work they do in some of the most undeserved and overlooked communities. They don't just switch the children's food and leave. The Coalition creates a learning environment for the entire family, using the family's feedback to help the school figure out how to best serve them. I've been to Family Dinner Nights and seen elementary students running to be first in line at the SALAD BAR! If that's not enough proof that their work is not in vain, I don't know what is :-) So, please, support me in supporting them. Help us raise money, so that we can continue to expose children to a world of food beyond processed cheese snacks and technicolor soft drinks. They deserve better than that.
