Why is the Foundation spearheading this initiative? Sometimes a sandwich isn’t just a sandwich – it’s a building block for a brighter future. Since 2011, the Foundation’s Nourishing Potential Fund has helped children and youth in after-school and drop-in programs access healthy food, nutrition education and cooking skills needed to grow and thrive. The Recipe for Success contest is being held in support of Nourishing Potential.
