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


Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids builds, manages, and maintains 55 school gardens across the State of Delaware, serving over 23,000 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.

HFHK is more than gardening. We provide the school gardens, lessons to match each grade level science curriculum, supplies, teacher training and maintenance of the gardens at no-cost to the schools. This is because of YOU! Your donations support life-changing lessons and education.

We are raising funds for our spring soil needs to provide a healthy foundation for gardening and growing healthy vegetables.

About Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids

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.

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 55 schools across the state, HFHK has touched the lives of nearly 24,000 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.
