We are proud to share a meaningful new beginning.

The Betty Jean Brown Foundation is honored to partner with CEI to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to the students of P.S. 140 Nathan Straus in Manhattan.

This work is rooted in care. When children are nourished, they are better able to learn, grow, and feel supported in every part of their day.

We are grateful for this partnership and excited for what lies ahead.

Sometimes help looks like a grocery bag and no speech.

The loudest reaction is usually to strawberries.
Always strawberries.

Today’s hero was a kid who asked for seconds.

A teacher whispered thank you like it was a secret.
Those are the moments we remember.

We never say “eat this.”
We say “try it once.”
It works.

Fresh fruit should not feel like a luxury for a child.

Through the Betty Jean Brown Foundation we currently provide fruits and vegetables to students in two NYC schools, and we are working to grow so more children can experience real, healthy food each week.

We are building a community of monthly supporters to make this sustainable.
Just $5 per month helps place fresh food directly into students’ hands.

If this speaks to you, consider joining us.
If you cannot, sharing the link helps just as much.

Small support. Real impact. Every week.

A child held a strawberry like it was treasure today.
You forget how new food can be to someone.

Fresh food is more than nutrition. It is dignity, focus, and possibility placed gently into a child’s day. When access becomes normal, confidence follows. Small provisions create large futures.

Children deserve nourishment and celebration.
A healthy meal builds the body.
A shared treat builds belonging.
Both matter.
At the Betty Jean Brown Foundation, we care for the whole child.
