Empowering our community to become more proactive about their health by providing free educational, medical, and screening resources.
We aim to advocate for and promote healthy living, educate others about screening guidelines for chronic illnesses, and provide medical resources to underrepresented members of our community.
Through our student-led initiative, we hope for all community members to learn the holistic approach to healthy living in all aspects of their lives - emphasizing the importance of lung, gut, brain, and heart health.
“Real Food for Kids is excited to have Shreya join our board as the student representative for 2019-2020, and chair our Student Nutrition Advisory Council (SNAC), leveraging the important work already underway with CHAPS. CHAPS is empowering students not only to make the best choices for their personal health but to understand they have a voice in changing the health outcomes in their schools and communities. The combined presence of CHAPS and Real Food for Kids in our schools has the potential to significantly move the needle on school food and the choices our kids make outside school walls."
- Mary Porter, Director of Programs, Real Food for Kids and Jenn Yates, Executive Director, Real Food for Kids
“...Food for Others applauds the work of CHAPS in raising awareness about children’s health issues and promoting healthy living. We are pleased to partner with CHAPS and applaud Shreya’s effort to coordinate a conference that engages the community in finding solutions to the challenges children face in our own communities such as hunger and food insecurity.”
- John Golden, Director of Development and Outreach, Food for Others

- Kerrie Wilson, CEO, Cornerstones
