Truth Spring Academy Breakfast Program
Studies show that students who have access to a nutritional breakfast show better concentration, perform better and are more likely to graduate. By collaborating with partners like Truth Spring Academy, we set students up for success by providing a balanced, healthy breakfast. Preventing diet-related illness and keeping our students on track academically means making healthy food accessible in our schools.
More than 35,000 breakfast meals have been distributed to Truth Spring Academy students since the launch of our program.
- 80 meals a day
- 400 nourishing breakfast meals a week
- In the 2023 school year alone, we’ve distributed 1,360 meals.
Cultivating Culinary Talent through Collaborative Partnerships
Truth Spring Academy Trade School Partnership
By partnering with the Truth Spring Trade School, we help students rebuild their own community through engaging, meaningful work, in-class learning and nine weeks of on-the-job-training in our culinary kitchen. We love that this partnership grows our local, culinary talent and supports our local economy through job opportunities and on-the-job training.
This partnership provides us with a steady stream of skilled and motivated interns and, oftentimes, potential future employees! (Like April and Brittney M.!) These individuals bring fresh perspectives, enhancing our team's creativity with our cafe menu, keeping the kitchen clean and efficient and getting to build relationships with our customers!
Creating a culture where food is medicine means nurturing our own culinary talent and helping build our local economy through job creation.
