Thank you again to the Northwest Observer who did a front page story on the Classroom to Food Market Pipeline (CFMP) for Stokesdale Elementary’s AIG class. Click Here or the image to read the complete article on page 1 & page 10.
4th grade students at Sugarloaf Elementary in Hendersonville, NC setup multiple Portable Garden Bins in December to grow over the Holiday Break to harvest when they return to class.
Join ReBuildUp this Thursday, August 18th 6-9pm at the Greensboro City Market.
We’ll be showing off food grown in our Portable Gardens to build support for expanding Classroom to Food Pantry Pipelines (CFPP) into more Guilford County schools.
This event averages crowds of 2,000-3,000 every third Thursday in the summer. Games, Food, Music, and More for everyone!
Some of the Ragsdale High School students who participated in the Classroom to Food Pantry Pipeline during the school year have volunteered to continue growing food over the summer delivering what they harvest to Renaissance Road Church’s Food Bank.
The students took home one of the portable gardens from class and were offered a “sharecropping” option where they can give half the micro greens to the food bank and keep the rest. The participating students elected to give all the food grown to the food bank every four weeks until school returned.
As part of our Food Bike program, we’re in the process of adding more portable gardens at Ragsdale High School with the goal of staggering their growing cycle so there’s a harvest ready each week to be taken to Renaissance Church’s Food Bank.
On Wednesday, April 6th, Jamestown News did a story on ReBuildUp’s Food Bike program at Ragsdale High School featuring students playing a nutritional card game, growing food in class to be delivered to nearby Renaissance Church’s Food Bank, along with a contest for the best home grown bottle lettuce. This was made possible by sponsor Michael Robinson Accounting along with the aid of the Greater High Point Food Alliance to line up the Food Bank.
