INSPIRE COMMUNITIES TO GO ALL IN

AND SECURE FOOD AND EDUCATION FOR LIFE

Parents and teachers lead and inspire others to invest. With their own time and dime, they create gardens and kitchens from scratch. Each parent takes time off from work to come to school and make the lunches. They learn to use Excel to track every dollar and impact.
