“Real Food for Kids is excited to have Shreya join our board as the student representative for 2019-2020, and chair our Student Nutrition Advisory Council (SNAC), leveraging the important work already underway with CHAPS. CHAPS is empowering students not only to make the best choices for their personal health but to understand they have a voice in changing the health outcomes in their schools and communities. The combined presence of CHAPS and Real Food for Kids in our schools has the potential to significantly move the needle on school food and the choices our kids make outside school walls.

- Mary Porter, Director of Programs, Real Food for Kids and Jenn Yates, Executive Director, Real Food for Kids

Through our student-led initiative targeting childhood obesity, we hope ​​​​for all children to learn the holistic approach to healthy living in all aspects of their lives - mental, dental, physical, and heart health
