We’re incredibly grateful to the The Sacramento Bee and to staff writer, Graham Womack, for sharing the story of Community Food Connections and the Sacramento City Unified School District students, parents, and educators working with Alchemist CDC every day to make sure no child in our community goes hungry.
This story shines a light on something we see every day across Sacramento County: when students and families have consistent access to nutritious food, children are better able to focus, participate, attend school regularly, and succeed in the classroom. Addressing hunger is deeply connected to educational outcomes, and it takes schools, caregivers, and community working together to ensure every child has the support they need to learn and thrive.
A huge thank you to the incredible parents, teachers, staff, volunteers, and community advocates who are helping lead the charge to raise funds for Community Food Connections and raise awareness of the growing need facing so many local families right now. Your voices matter, and this work would not happen without you.
We hope you’ll take a moment to read and support this critical work: http://bit.ly/4uHB7Ll
