Brighter Bites

Brighter Bites helps kids and families eat more fruits and vegetables. We do this by pairing school-based produce distributions and classroom-based nutrition education, all while creating a fun food experience for the entire school community.

Each Brighter Bites week, we distribute 50-60 servings of 8-12 different kinds of fruits and vegetables to each family at participating schools. We train and support classroom to implement nutrition education in classrooms using the Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH), an evidence-based school health curriculum.

Throughout the school year, we equip parents with nutrition education on food preparation techniques, as well as tips and resources around food storage and safety, menu planning, healthy shopping on a budget, and more. Brighter Bites staff conduct cooking demonstrations each semester and other fun food experiences for parents, children, and volunteers at each distribution.

A national non-profit founded in Houston in 2012, Brighter Bites now serves communities in 11 cities across the country. We have been serving Dallas area communities since 2014.
