Good Eats, Great Deeds: Aramark and All Good Living Foundation Team Up for Oakland Youth
Chef Casey helping us load one of their many donations.
In a heartfelt act of community support, Aramark, the food service giant at the iconic Oakland Coliseum, has partnered with the All Good Living Foundation to tackle a pressing issue – student hunger in Oakland. With a shared passion for nourishing the future of our community, this collaboration is a testament to what can be achieved when organizations unite for a common cause.
Nourishment Beyond the Classroom
The practical strides taken in this partnership were marked by Aramark's generous donation of about 456 pounds of wholesome food to Lighthouse and Lodestar schools' after-school programs. Through this significant gesture, the message is clear: no child in our educational institutions should have to endure the distraction or discomfort of hunger.
The All Good Living Foundation is well-versed in the needs of the local youth – understanding that academic success is inherently tied to well-being, which includes consistent access to nutritious meals. When bellies are full, minds can engage, explore, and excel.
A Vision of a Hunger-Free Community
The vision driving this collaboration is bold yet simple – end student hunger. It's an ambitious goal that becomes increasingly attainable with every act of kindness and collaboration. The quest to ensure that every student returns home from school satiated is more than noble; it is essential.
This isn't merely about food; it's about creating a nurturing environment for our children. When students are assured of a reliable food source, they are better equipped to concentrate on their studies, participate in extracurricular activities, and have the energy they need to chase their dreams.
Join Forces with All Good Living Foundation
Aramark's support does wonders in the short term, but the path to ending school hunger is ongoing and requires the collective effort of the entire community. You can play a role in securing a brighter, hunger-free future for our children.
