Co-op To Kids
added 05/11/10
Food cooperatives care about providing good food, helpful nutritional information, and supporting their local communities—so it is not surprising that when the discussion turns to improving school nutrition, co-ops lend a hand. In 2005, large and small co-ops in New Hampshire and Vermont created the Co-ops to Kids project, with an on-going mission to collect and share valuable information via an online resource.
When a school year is ending, that’s the time to think about how to effect positive change in the school year to come. Co-ops to Kids can help. Parents will find information on healthy snacks, a snack shopping guide, and sources of trustworthy nutrition advice. Teachers will find curriculum ideas, nutrition information, and descriptions of classes on food and nutrition presented by local groups, including co-ops. Food service professionals will find supportive state and national resources, ongoing training opportunities, and more. Go to coopfoodstore.coop/content/co-ops-kids to learn more.
