Give Now!
Most children across the U.S. struggle to eat fruits and vegetables, consuming ultra-processed foods instead. Because long-term diet and health play a key role in the development of diet-related chronic health conditions, our nutrition team is focused on programs that establish healthy eating patterns during childhood and adolescence.
Join us in creating healthier communities and helping children establish healthy eating habits from the market to the home.
Your support is vital to our ability to provide hands-on cooking classes and access to fruit and vegetable prescriptions.
Flint Kids Cook
Picky-eaters are no match for chef- and dietitian-led healthy cooking classes! The class introduces children to healthy foods, teaches life skills, and encourages youth to work collaboratively to prepare simple, kid-friendly recipes.
Support from generous donors helps us to offer Flint Kids Cook classes for free to youth in the Flint community.

The Fruit and Vegetable
Prescription Program
1 in 5 children in Michigan face hunger, while more than 17% live in a food desert, lacking access to basic fresh fruits and vegetables. In Genesee County, 15% of families experience food insecurity.
Support from generous donors helps us to provide fruit and vegetable prescriptions to Flint children and expecting mothers, increasing their access to nutritious food.
