This past June, our NYC team was excited to take part in this year's Food & Nutrition Education Summit hosted by the Food Education Team at @NYCSchools! 🍎⁠
⁠
This year, Brighter Bites served 17 NYC public schools through the Nutrition Collaborative and Food Education Grant programs, expanding access to fresh produce and nutrition education across New York City.⁠
⁠
We're grateful to work alongside so many incredible partners and a Department of Education that continues to champion student health and wellness. Together, we're helping more kids and families build healthy habits that last a lifetime. ❤️

Good intentions aren't enough, you have to know what's working. That's why we partner with researchers at UTHealth to measure our impact. As we like to say, the proof is in the papaya!⁠
⁠
After Brighter Bites, families report eating more fruits and veggies, cooking and sharing more meals at home, choosing produce for snacks more often, making informed grocery choices, and experiencing improved food security. ⁠
⁠
When families have access to fresh food, nutrition education, and support, healthy habits can take root and grow. 🥦🍓🍎
