October is Farm to School Month, an annual 31-day campaign to recognize, appreciate and celebrate the connections happening across the country between kids, families and their community food systems. . This year’s theme, It Takes a Community to Feed a Community, has been more evident than ever before with our schools, child care centers, community food pantries, and community meal sites coming together to feed children in our greater Philadelphia communities. . We are honorin...g all those who contribute to feeding our kids and communities: farmers, harvesters, food vendors, site managers, educators, bus drivers and more. You are all our essential food service champions! . . #schoolfood #schoolmeals #schoolmealsNDS See more
