RECIPE FOR SUCCESS FOUNDATION

Since 2005, Recipe for Success Foundation's signature program, Seed-to Plate Nutrition Education™ has empowered over 35,000 school children in Houston and beyond with the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy eating decisions for life. Our extensive, hands-on curriculum for pre-K through fifth grade students connects the produce in their gardens to the food on their plates, producing remarkable, sustained behavior changes.

In 2013, to reduce the cost and dramatically scale S2P program delivery, the Foundation launched our Affiliate Partnership program wherein a school's existing staff or volunteers are trained, certified and supported through our comprehensive Curriculum Support Website. Since that time, an ever-increasing number of schools across the country from Washington, D.C. to Petaluma, California, have joined as Affiliate Partners.

A critical component in achieving Recipe for Success Foundation’s mission to mobilize the community to provide healthier diets for children, Hope Farms grows fresh, affordable produce in the midst of a Houston “food desert” while training and providing small-business incubation, co-op services and workforce readiness for U.S. Veterans and others, preparing them to be urban agri-preneurs. The seven-acre farm is also a healthy gathering place, offering regular cooking and gardening classes for children and adults, weekly produce deliveries to subscribers, weekly onsite markets, pop-up produce markets in the community and public events that celebrate local food and the power of shared meals to build community.
Our urban farm, in the shadow of downtown Houston, is a place for all Houstonians and visitors to our city to learn about and celebrate fresh, locally-grown food
