About this organization
Mission
Food Literacy Center’s mission is to inspire kids to eat their vegetables. We teach children in low-income elementary schools cooking, nutrition, gardening, and active play to improve our health, environment, and economy.
About
What we do: teach basic cooking skills, nutrition, fruit and vegetable appreciation, and where food comes from. We feed: introduce healthy snacks and introduce kids to fruits and vegetables so they'll make smart choices. Our approach: we believe good food should be fun! We focus on the positive side of food, sharing practical, affordable, and approachable ways to eat well. We aim to engage rather than frighten. Results: we don't rely on anecdotes to know that our programs are working, we test and measure our programs. 92% of kids say healthy food tastes good. 75% say it matters where their food comes from. 70% ask their families for the foods they've tasted in class, including broccoli and oranges. How you can help: be part of the solution. Contact us to make a donation and to volunteer. Amber Stott founding executive director: amber@foodliteracycenter.org
