A school-day initiative launched in 2019 through new funding from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education and FoodCorps, Kid Power re-branded and expanded our program offerings in partner schools to include program activities that integrate wellness into the entire school culture. In the program, our FoodCorps Service Members teach in-school health, garden, and environmental lessons to over 1,000 students. Kid Power students learn about health, wellness, and nutrition through hands-on gardening, cooking lessons, and STEM-based environmental science lessons. Kid Power’s FoodCorps Service Members also run cafeteria taste-test events, composting and recycling components, and school-based markets.
Who said virtual events had to be boring? Not Us!
Join us for a fun night of interactive cooking, award presentation, a silent auction and raffle items, and delicious food with wine pairing at our virtual 8th Annual Taste of the Garden fundraiser on October 8th.
During this event, we will spotlight the important work of Kid Power, our families, instructors, and community leaders with impact stories, and of course preparing an amazing 3-course meal with our featured Chef and his special guests!
