We live in a world we want to protect, and reducing food waste will help us do so.🌎

This week we’re recognizing Food Waste Prevention Week, a national
campaign to raise awareness about the importance of reducing food loss and waste. 🍎

We asked some fifth grade students from Rockdale Elementary to share why they believe composting and recovering food through cafeteria Share Carts is important. We loved hearing their responses and feel inspired by their words of wisdom. Why do you think food waste awareness is so important? ♻️

We are excited to share our 2026 Impact Report with you! Check out the report to view program stats, annual survey results, and financial reports. We ended the 2025-26 school year on a high note and are proud to look back on many milestones:

🌎 Welcoming Carthay School of Environmental Studies as a new school partner
🪱 Expanding our Cafeteria to Compost program to all LAUSD GSF partner sites
🌱 Growing our work beyond school campuses through partnerships with LA Family Housing, Angel City FC, and Sprouts Farmers Market and participation in national conferences

As we head into the 2026-27 school year, we are thrilled to add Allesandro Elementary, allowing us to reach over 4,140 students across 12 public school sites. After more than twenty years of serving LA students and their families, our work feels more urgent than ever. Together, we are growing a greener, more hopeful future. 💚

This Hunger Action Month, take action with us! 🍊

Food security is at the core of our programs. Every day, we’re helping students access the food they need to learn and grow, from opening milk cartons and peeling bananas in cafeterias to stocking Share Carts with uneaten cafeteria leftovers.

Through our programs, we’re also:

🥕 Distributing recovered food at daily afterschool food distributions
🥭 Offering free fresh produce through on-campus Farmers Markets
🥬 Expanding growing capacity to produce local fruits and veggies onsite at our schools

September is , a nationwide opportunity to raise awareness about hunger and inspire action to help end it. Join GSF and be part of the movement by sharing this post or supporting your local hunger-relief organization. Find a way to take action in your local community, and together we’ll do our part to help end hunger in LA and beyond.🍎

Everybody wake up! 🐓 We’ve got something exciting to crow about!

We’re thrilled to announce the beginning of our partnership with our newest school garden site, Allesandro Elementary! In the Allesandro school garden you’ll find both hens and roosters, as well as raised beds, fruit trees, and a compost corner. 🪱

As an environmental science magnet school, Allesandro aims to encourage students to identify and solve environmental challenges within the local and global community. We can’t wait to deepen environmental stewardship on campus through Seed to Table and Cafeteria to Compost programming this year! 🌎

Students are officially back in school and we couldn’t be more excited!

To celebrate, some of our staff shared what they are most looking forward to this school year. From discovering insects to composting, mulching, and adding a new school site, we sure do have lots in store! 🌱🪱🪏

No two of our school gardens are alike, and that’s exactly what makes them so exciting! Each garden is unique and we love experimenting with different growing techniques and crops at each school. 🍓

One thing they do all have in common? They’re thriving at this time of year! Take a peek at these recent photos from Grand View Boulevard Elementary and Wilshire Crest Elementary and see what you can spot growing and blooming. Which garden feature catches your eye? 🌼

There’s a world of possibility in the garden, and every harvest starts with a seed! 🌱

This summer at Annalee Elementary, we’re building a brand new greenhouse that will be ready for seedlings this fall. At Mary W. Jackson Elementary, we’re harvesting crisp cucumbers, juicy passionfruit, and vibrant pomegranates grown with love by our students throughout the year. From seed to table, together we’re building a future where more young people can experience the joy of growing their own food. 🥒

Today we invite you to join us as we celebrate Director of Development Elizabeth Hall’s ten years of impact with GSF! Over the past decade, Elizabeth has contributed to every major program and initiative and helped GSF achieve incredible growth and success. Her work has ranged from creating digital Seed to Table learning guides during the COVID-19 pandemic to piloting the Cafeteria to Compost program at Grand View Boulevard Elementary. She has worked countless Farmers Markets and helped shape GSF’s food security efforts. Longtime volunteers know her well and often look forward to seeing her friendly face at Community Garden Days.💚

As Director of Development, Elizabeth leads grant writing, reporting, fundraising campaigns, and strategic development efforts. Under her leadership and thanks to her exceptional grant writing skills, GSF has achieved funding milestones that once seemed out of reach. The direct impact of this funding has been tremendous, enabling GSF to further develop the Cafeteria to Compost program, expand food production, and sustain Seed to Table classes at each school site. 🌱 🪱 🍎

We thank Elizabeth for a decade of dedication, leadership, and vision that have left a lasting mark on the organization and our school communities. 👏 👏 👏

Help us celebrate this milestone by clicking the link in our bio to make a $10 contribution to honor Elizabeth’s ten years with GSF. Congratulations, Elizabeth! 🎉
