Back to School, Back to the Farmers Market

Empower the next generation of healthy eaters. Help us raise $30,000 to support Foodwise’s free education programs for Bay Area kids and families.

Every kid deserves opportunities to grow and be healthy. As students go back to school this fall, help us provide free experiential food education in the farmers market and the classroom.

Invest in our youth, invest in an equitable and sustainable food future. Foodwise farmers markets and education programs are an essential source of learning, wellness, and connection for Bay Area youth, serving more than 3,000 San Francisco Unified School District students and their families every year. Through our Foodwise Kids and Foodwise Teens programs, students meet farmers face-to-face at the market, learn to grow and cook their own food, develop valuable life and job skills, and build community together.

This is a critical time for our youth programs, as our biggest Foodwise Kids’ grant funding sunsets this summer. Foodwise has offered these free education programs to SFUSD students for more than a decade. We need your support to bridge the funding gap, so we can continue to serve San Francisco kids and families with vital nutrition and wellness education.
