DC Food Project Details
The DC Food Project launched after extensive research focusing on DC students' access to healthy and nutritious food -- in schools, beyond the breakfast and lunch programs already in place. We launched the DC Food Project, with an aim to reduce food waste in schools while improving access to healthy food for students in DC throughout the weekend. To do this, we are working to implement two programs - The Share Table and the Weekend Bag Program - in all DC Schools. The Share Table:The Share Table is a place where students can place unopened and/or sealed foods that they choose not to eat during school breakfast and lunch in a basket, providing an opportunity for other students to take additional helpings of food that would otherwise be thrown away. While serving a greater need for nutrition within schools, these tables will also help in the reduction of food waste.The Weekend Bag Program:The DC Food Project weekend bag program provides participating D.C. students access to healthy non-perishable food items over the weekend. These bags contain nutritious meals for two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners and two snacks and are discreetly packed in the students' backpacks each Friday afternoon or before a long school break, helping students be better prepared to learn the following week. MAKE A DONATIONBy making a donation to the DC Food Project you will be helping children in DC schools get access to healthy food items in school and on weekends during the school year.
