ABOUT HFHkids
Our mission, who we are, and what we do.
Our MISSION
Our mission is to inspire healthier lives by providing youth with joyful school gardening experiences and opportunities to eat the garden-fresh vegetables they’ve grown.
Our vision is a vegetable garden in every school, leading to generations of healthy families throughout Delaware.
Our COMMITMENT
We are deeply committed to establishing trust and adhering to high standards of behavior whenever we interact with children, schools, parents, volunteers and donors who support and participate in our programs.
Our IMPACT
School garden programs work! Learn how HFHK is creating a proven healthier future for today’s kids. We love watching students grow in their understanding of gardening science and their love of vegetables.
“At this moment in education, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is a huge element of developing the whole child in school. I believe that building this relationship with Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids will allow each one of our students to learn how to become a healthier individual, which will in turn affect their Social and Emotional well-being. Being a small part of a big production like this creates a team atmosphere and a sense of purpose all while teaching students the importance of cultivating their taste buds. Hopefully, the lessons will positively affect their education as well. Ultimately, our goal is to plant the seed knowning our school is able to reap the benefits of the program.”
