In line with our mission, Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids is addressing racial inequities in a unique way with our school garden program.  By teaching diverse students in Delaware schools to develop lifelong wholesome eating habits, our intent is to help address the health inequities that some minority populations experience.  We also support the efforts of others to create a country where everyone is treated fairly and given opportunities to succeed.

All of us at Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids continue to take steps to ensure our organization remains strong during these uncertain times. We look forward to renewing students’  joy for planting and reaping the benefits of vegetable gardening this fall.

Our goal at Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids is to teach every child in Delaware that vegetables are fun to grow and delicious to eat. Now in more than 30 schools, our programs are designed to bring every student into the garden for joyful hands-on learning experiences.

School-based gardening programs improve students’ academic achievement and also improve their eating habits, a trend which even continues into adulthood.

Would you be ecstatic if your child would eat arugula, spinach, turnips, radishes, and bok choy? We here at Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids are known as the “vegetable whispers.” We have the magical ability to get kids to try, and once they’ve tried, many find out that they actually like it!
