Our Food Forests for Schools team kicked off the new school year at Twin Lakes Elementary in Hialeah. They met with so many amazing students and their families. 🏫💚

Parents and kids got a look at (and a taste of) how our Food Forests bring hands-on learning, science, and nutrition directly into the classroom. 🥦🔍 To help welcome everyone back, families went home with fresh food forest clippings, seeds to plant, and fun giveaways. 🌱🎁

Special thanks to Angelica Herrera, Miss Universe Cuba-Holguin, for stepping in and helping out.

We’re so excited to see these young sprouts learn and grow all year long. 🐛🌾

Miami-Dade County Residents: Share Your Voice to Inform Local Decisions

You know Miami-Dade County better than anyone – what’s working, and what needs to improve? Tell us in a 15‑minute survey that will help community organizations and local decision-makers invest where it matters most.

📝 Take the survey here:
🔗CommunityWellbeingSurvey.norc.org

📊 Why participate? Communities rarely get direct input from residents about their experiences, making it difficult to know where investment is most needed. Your input will help residents, community organizations and local leaders understand what makes Miami-Dade County a great place to live and what challenges need more attention.

🤝 Our commitment to Miami-Dade County: For decades, Knight Foundation has invested in Miami-Dade County. As part of this ongoing effort, we are proud to partner with Knight Foundation to ensure that resident voices help shape the future of our community.

⏳ Act now. This study may close early once we have received the maximum number of responses, so please respond today!

✅ The survey is legitimate. The survey is being conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. NORC is a nonpartisan, nonprofit research organization with decades of experience conducting high-quality surveys. Your responses are anonymous and confidential.
