We’re proud to partner with RISE Charter School and Food Paradigm on a fresh, scratch-made school meals pilot here in Raleigh, and we’re grateful to WRAL for featuring the program and our work to help nourish local students.

Every child deserves access to nourishing food that helps them learn, grow, and thrive. From fresh fruits and vegetables to globally inspired meals, this program is helping make lunchtime something students can look forward to—while exploring a model that could create lasting change for schools across our community. You can help make this work possible. Our upcoming Casino Royale fundraiser on Wednesday, October 14, will help benefit this important program and our mission to serve vulnerable children. Thank you to the volunteers, school leaders, families, and partners making this work possible. Together, we’re serving more than meals—we’re investing in children’s futures.
