It's official! We are happy to share that #BrighterBites is now serving families in Las Cruces, New Mexico📍🎊

“Our ultimate goal is to create behavior change that improves children’s health, especially among populations who are disproportionately vulnerable to developing obesity and diet-related diseases. When successful, we can eliminate health disparities and address health equity.” -Mike Pomeroy, Vice President of Operations at Brighter Bites

We are so grateful for our partners at @RoadrunnerFoodBank and @nmsu_ican for making our program possible!

The first distribution in Las Cruces took place in February and continues through May. Brighter Bites looks forward to continuing programming in the summer and fall with hopes to continue to expand its reach in Las Cruces.

"Brighter Bites has created an opportunity to support families in providing fresh fruits and vegetables for their homes. Every campus has seen a consistent turnout from families which has provided an opportunity to connect with all families in a new way,” said Naomi Chavez Lopez, Community School Manager at LCPS. “Brighter Bites has created an opportunity for schools to remove the stigma of receiving food and has focused on expanding palates for families with familiar and new produce."
