What idea do you have to address the problem?

Fresh Fridays: Fresh local food at schools on Fridays. Please write in the name of your project. Please be descriptive and straightforward; this will help us identify your project. Description: Partner with school and community gardens to provide fresh local vegetables and fruits to students each Friday during harvest months. Schools already have Meatless Mondays, but this will shift attention to positive healthy delicious food - not just cutting meat out, but bringing other food in. Some schools such as PS 139 have already been doing this on their own, but this would turn it into a better resourced pilot program, one that the new mayor could potentially expand.Many communities in our district lack adequate access to affordable, healthy food. If students don't have the opportunity to eat much fresh produce, this can shape their tastes and eating habits for a lifetime. Please describe why this project is important and who it will serve primarily.
