For nearly two decades, Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS) has delivered SNAP-Ed programming in area schools to encourage students and families to eat more fruits and vegetables and engage in more physical activity.
"Soon, we plan to be able to deliver a curated and equitable mix of everything we get on a daily basis to everyone we serve," says Kirk Mayes, CEO of Forgotten Harvest. "Through our new data-based approach, we hope to provide families with not just a part of the solution, but the whole solution. For us, this means there's a healthy, nutritious, wholesome meal that actually quenches the thirst of hunger.
