Growing Together: Open Forum

Hi y'all!

Please join the National Farm to School Network for a two-part webinar series highlighting Colorado's successful passage of the Healthy School Meals for All Public School Students Act! We'll explore how school meals policies that focus on nutrient dense meals and positive economic, equity, and environmental impacts benefit not just students, but everyone along the farm to school journey. 

• In the first webinar - June 22 - we'll hear from two members of Colorado's Healthy School Meals for All Coalition. They will share insights on how their policy emerged, its role in strengthening the local food system, and how others can replicate their success by asking, "who's at the table?" Register for part 1 here. 

• The second webinar - June 29 - will feature members of Hunger Free Colorado, who will share their intention behind developing and leading Colorado's Healthy School Meals for All Coalition. They will discuss their strategies for organizing, collaborating with communities across the state, and garnering support for the passage, and now implementation, of their values-aligned universal meals policy. Register for part 2 here. 

Like you, the National Farm to School Network has a vision of a strong and just food system for all. We seek deep transformation toward this vision through farm to school – the ways kids eat, grow, and learn about food in schools and early care and education settings. To learn more about how our shared values can create healthy school meals for all kids that transform our food system, and advocate for the policies to do that, please visit our "Who's At The Table" campaign webpage here.

Thanks, and please feel free to share with your networks!

Best,

Ryan
