“I like cutting the vegetables,” says fourth-grader Dyllan. His mother, Lessley, chimes in, “Dyllan always wants to help me cook, so this is a great opportunity for us to cook together.”
For kids to grow up with a love of fresh fruits and vegetables, they need joyful opportunities to taste, learn, and share food in community. When you donate to Foodwise, you are helping San Francisco youth and their families build food wisdom and nurture cooking skills for life.
Through Foodwise Kids, thousands of SFUSD elementary school students have explored the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market to discover the joys of fresh produce. Now, through Foodwise’s family cook nights, students are deepening their knowledge and building community through food with their peers, teachers, and families.
