Back to School, Back to the Farmers Market

“I have grown to know more about how food is made and how to take care of our world. In the future, this would benefit me to grow food, be less wasteful, be more healthy about the foods we eat, and explore careers in the food community.” —Jonathan T., Foodwise Teens program graduate

Every kid deserves opportunities to grow and be healthy. As students go back to school this fall, help us provide free experiential food education in the farmers market and the classroom, and invest in an equitable and sustainable food future. Foodwise farmers markets and education programs are an essential source of learning, wellness, and connection for Bay Area youth, serving more than 3,000 San Francisco Unified School District students and their families every year. Through our Foodwise Kids and Foodwise Teens programs, students meet farmers face-to-face at the market, learn to grow and cook their own food, develop valuable life and job skills, and build community together.

We need your support to continue to serve San Francisco kids and families with vital and free nutrition and wellness education, as we have for more than a decade. Help us grow the next generation of food leaders and expand our farmers market community with a donation today!
