"I joined the School Food Advisory Board because I had a granddaughter who wasn't eating lunch because she didn't like the food. I want her to have school meals that she likes and that support local farmers."
STORY/CONTEXT:
In 2018, the DC City Council committed DC Public Schools to the "Good Food Purchasing Program." This means that the city's school system will set and work towards goals for purchasing healthy food that is grown locally, under fair labor conditions, and with environmentally sustainable practices.
TAKE ACTION:
Do you or your family members get food from an institution, like a school, workplace, or nursing home? Ask that institution to evaluate its food purchases and commit to sourcing food from providers that meet the "Good Food Purchasing" standards. |
