The podcast episode we released today will convince
you that there is not a school in the country that can’t be cooking healthy,
nutritious, fresh and locally sourced food right in its own school
kitchen. That’s what Laura Benavidez and
Jill Shah set out to prove in a pilot program that is delighting low income
kids who now enjoy school meals.
Laura is the executive
director of food service for Boston Public School and previously worked with us
on breakfast after the bell in the L.A. Unified School District where she
served for 10 years. Jill created the Shah Family Foundation with her husband
after he co-founded and took public Wayfair, the home furnishing on-line
retailer. Share Our Strength Boston
chefs Andy Husbands and Ken Oringer shared their strength by helping to design
and supply the school kitchens. Their
story is a great example of everyone having the capacity to share their
strength and make a difference on behalf of kids.
