The Urban School Food Alliance was created by school food professionals in 2012 to address the unique needs of the nation’s largest school districts. The nonprofit group allows the districts to share best practices and leverage their purchasing power to continue to drive quality up and costs down while incorporating sound environmental practices – all for the health and wellness of students. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Miami-Dade, Orange County (Orlando), Broward County (Fort Lauderdale), Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Palm Beach County, and DeKalb County together offer service to nearly 3.6 million children daily. This translates to more than 635 million meals a year. To learn more about the Urban School Food Alliance or to support its work, please visit www.urbanschoolfoodalliance.org.
