Healthy Foods For Healthy Kids

Organization Mission:

Our mission is to inspire healthier lives by providing youth with joyful school gardening experiences and opportunities to eat the garden-fresh vegetables they've grown.


Support school garden programs to inspire healthier lives, hands-on science learning and a joyful gardening experience for our youth


Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids builds, manages, and maintains 68 school gardens across the State of Delaware, serving 28,000 students.  Our "Education Cultivation" program is designed to assist schools in delivering curriculum that impacts three critical areas: nutrition and health, science learning, and life skills. 

Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids is raising $6,000 during DoMore24 to install and upgrade much‑needed irrigation in school gardens across Delaware, helping them stay healthy, hydrated, and ready for the spring growing season.
Thanks to a generous donor, every gift is matched up to $2,500, doubling your impact and ensuring that students can experience the joy of planting seeds, watching them sprout, and harvesting fresh vegetables they grew themselves.
Join us from March 5th at 6 PM to March 6th at 6 PM to help turn the water on and keep learning flowing for thousands of young gardeners

Thank you for helping us continue to "veggie-cate the First State"! We can't grow without you!


About Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids

HFHK partners with kindergarten-8th grade Delaware schools to start onsite vegetable garden programs running during the academic day. HFHK's unique program aligns with the science curriculum and provides outdoor hands-on learning opportunities that coincide with gardening tasks for students of all grade levels. Growing cool weather, fast-growing crops, we provide a seed-to-table experience in both the fall and spring. The garden produce is served to students in the school cafeteria for a full "seed-to-cafeteria-table" program.
 
Our vision is a vegetable garden in every school, leading to generations of healthy families throughout Delaware. Partnering with 63 schools across the state, HFHK has touched the lives of over 25,000 Delaware school kids and helped them grow over 500,000 radishes. Our goal is to put a garden in every interested school in the state. Your donation will support our quest to "Veggie-cate the First State" as we expand our program to additional schools in Kent and Sussex Counties.
