SPREADING JOY AT 8 NEW MARKETS, THANKS TO YOU

Schools are a natural fit for the Joyful Food Markets initiative because they are organic hubs for community gathering, explains Lindsay Morton, Assistant Director of our Healthy Market Program. Bringing groceries directly to elementary-aged students ensures not only that children are nourished, she says, but also that they develop a love for healthy eating at a young age. As community hubs, the markets offer vital opportunities for family engagement. At Anne Beers Elementary, for example, residents from the American Academy of Pediatrics join the monthly event to offer no-cost health screenings to children—a partnership recently featured on NBC4 Washington!
Thanks to all of the dedicated volunteers, donors, and school partners who help us to create a culture of joyfulness every month!
