Local foods should be available in all schools to nourish every child, across race and ethnicity, economic standing, or geographic location. Food Connects strives to equitably serve all children, teachers, school nutrition professionals, farmers, and Farm to School support organizations in our region. The intent of this scholarship is to increase accessibility for those who are underrepresented and underfunded; whether due to race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, education, or geographic location.
