Wellness in the Schools

Wellness in the Schools is a non-profit organization with a vision to promote healthy habits among children in public schools, focusing on nutrition, environmental awareness, and fitness. Through initiatives like Cook for Kids, Green for Kids, and Coach for Kids, the organization collaborates with school leadership, teachers, chefs, coaches, parents, and students to create hands-on programs. These programs aim to provide healthier food options, promote sustainable and environmentally responsible practices, and facilitate regular physical activity for children. Founded in 2005 by a group of concerned public school parents, the organization believes that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind and strives to create an optimal learning and growing environment for children.

The recent grant investment in Wellness in the Schools was made on 18th October 2019 by Campbell Soup Company. This investment reflects the recognition and support from a major player in the food industry for the organization's mission to instill healthy habits in children. With this backing, Wellness in the Schools can further expand its initiatives and create a more significant impact on the well-being of children in public schools.
