Because of you, more children will start the school day ready to learn, without the pang of hunger as a distraction. Our Back-to-School campaign reminds us that along with pencils and paper, children need a daily supply of food to take on new concepts, run on playgrounds, and socialize more successfully.
Our Community Health and Agriculture Education teams have collaborated to develop the new Food Shuttle Academy, an online learning platform with free, self-paced lessons on health, nutrition, agriculture, and more!

The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is designated as #GivingTuesday, a global day of generosity.

Save the date: #GivingTuesday is coming up on November 30 — a day that is, by far, one the biggest giving days of the year. This year, Inter-Faith Food Shuttle has set a goal of $50,000 for single day fundraising for #GivingTuesday, and hopes to inspire a generous outpouring of support from donors — new and old alike.
