100% of all in-store donations will fund the foundation’s school programmes. To date, a million children have received access to healthy food through the Whole Kids Foundation’s funding of nearly 900 school garden grants in partnership with FoodCorps, and more than 1,500 salad bars with Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools.
In addition to the funds raised by shoppers, Whole Kids Foundation will further expand its school support programmes through the generosity of Leonard Green & Partners.
The private equity firmed announced that it will donate $500,000 to the foundation and its efforts to fight childhood obesity during a garden grant dedication event at the Alta Loma Elementary School in Los Angeles, which is where the company is based.
