🌟This summer, we’re celebrating how fresh food and nutrition education help kids thrive, and we need your help! ⁠
⁠
SNAP-Ed funding is at risk, and without it 163,000 family members could go unserved. That means fewer families will get fresh produce, fewer children will learn essential nutrition education skills, and we’ll lose a critical chance to build lifelong healthy habits in communities that need it most. ⁠

Without your support, 163,000 family members will go unserved. ⁠
We need your help.⁠
⁠
Funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) is at risk of being eliminated. SNAP-Ed is a key source of funding for our program. Together, this represents over $4.3 million per year, which is 40% of our funding.⁠
⁠
If this proposal moves forward, Brighter Bites would lose the funding resources needed to sustain our current presence.⁠
⁠
That means fewer families will get fresh produce, fewer children will learn essential nutrition skills, and we’ll lose a critical chance to build lifelong healthy habits in communities that need it most.⁠
⁠
Help us build an even more resilient future together.⁠

As the 2024-2025 school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to celebrate teachers! This year, Brighter Bites has partnered with 5,845 teachers to deliver nutrition education and PE activities to students across the country. Our teachers' dedication to delivering nutrition education has made a lasting impact on students and families, helping to build healthier futures one lesson at a time! Thank you, teachers your hard work and commitment have made this possible, and we couldn't be more grateful. ⁠
⁠
Our generous partners at @fruit_bliss donated their products to our teachers in our Northeast market as a way of saying THANK YOU for all the hard work our teachers put in this school year. Thank you, Fruit Bliss, for highlighting our teachers and sharing a little extra "bliss" to brighten our day!⁠
