Happy National Sandwich Day! 🥪🌎

Did you know sandwiches look different around the world? From bánh mì to tortas, every culture brings its own delicious twist to this classic meal!

Sandwiches are a great way to explore different flavors, food groups, and traditions while creating something nutritious and delicious.

For the Coalition, celebrating food means recognizing that there isn't just one way to make a meal delicious, nourishing, or culturally meaningful.

Here is a delicious recipe we found! Swipe to discover a tasty sandwich recipe you can try at home! →✨

💬🍎 Changing the Conversation. Expanding the Possibilities.

We began by creating space for new conversations about food in Newark schools—conversations shaped by the students, families, educators, and community members who experience our school food systems every day.

Now, we’re building on that foundation by creating even more opportunities for those conversations to happen and for more voices to lead them. 🌱

Because meaningful change doesn’t happen without the community at the table. Together, we’re continuing to imagine what healthier, more responsive school food environments can look like for Newark students. 💚

🎤🍎 The People Behind the Movement: Newark Students

When it comes to the future of school lunch, who better to hear from than the students eating it every day?

We asked Newark students to share what they enjoy about their school lunches—and what they’d like to see on their trays in the future. Their ideas, experiences, and perspectives are an important part of building school food programs that truly reflect the students they serve. 💚

Because student voice isn’t just part of the conversation—it helps move the conversation forward.
