Brighter Bites partners with the Andy Roddick Foundation (ARF) Summer Learning Program in Austin, TX to provide produce distribution, nutrition education, and a fun food experience to students during the summer months. Founder and chair of ARF (and former tennis champion) Andy Roddick sat down to talk about ARF’s mission, effect, importance in our community, and gave Brighter Bites a shout out! Watch the Austin CBS affiliate station interview here.
It’s only the second summer Brighter Bites has been working in Austin, and already we’ve more than doubled the number camps where we’ve added our programming! This summer families whose children attend camp at the Andy Roddick Foundation’s Summer Learning Program at Pecan Springs Elementary, East Side Communities YMCA, and Mainspring Schools are joining our ranks, receiving nutrition education and 30-35 pounds of produce each week camp is in session. We’re returning to our beloved campers at El Buen Samaritano and Sunrise Community Church too. Thanks to this organization and the Central Texas Food Bank for making it happen!
