Eat REAL

Eat REAL is a Public Health nonprofit that increases real food access and education through schools for the well-being of children and the planet. We transform the menus on the largest restaurant chain in America - our public schools - by partnering with communities and schools.

Thanks to the generous Visa • IFW grant, we're so close to our campaign goal and you can help us achieve it! Please help us reach our goal of a total $15,000. $1 = 10 meals safely provided so every donation matters. Thank you for helping us support school heroes who are helping keep our communities strong during this crisis and beyond!

The Problem

Currently, in the United States, the next generation is on track to have shorter lifespans than their parents for the first time in U.S. history. One of the top causes is food-related disease so if we can transform our food system, we can transform the trajectory of the next generation and the planet! Also, food-related disease is putting people at higher risk for COVID-19 so we need to help people learn to love real food today. 

The Solution

We focus on helping schools transform their food programs so students have access to real food and can learn about the power of real food at school. During COVID-19 we help school safely deliver meals (or do pickup). Every community has a school so the opportunity to do good is massive. 

Eat REAL's core program is a K-12 certification that helps schools make improvements to their menus and helps kids learn to love real food. Our COVID-19 K-12 school program supports schools through resources (guides), tools (e.g., masks) and real food donations.
