The Austin ISD Board of Trustees recently honored Whole Kids Foundation for its work to advance student nutrition and food education. Over the past 5 years, the district has worked in partnership with the foundation on a variety of initiatives focused on reinventing school food service and supporting students’ health and well-being. Whole Kids Foundation continues to champion fresh, healthy food in local schools, including grants to over 40 AISD schools for school gardens. Most recently, the foundation committed $100,000 to support the district’s new high school Food Truck program, to add traditional ethnic dishes to school menus and to expand its made-to-order salad bar program for elementary and middle schools.
