FoodCorps is an American non-profit organization whose mission is to work with communities to "connect kids to healthy food in school."[1] FoodCorps places service members in limited-resource communities where they spend a year working with teachers and students to establish farm to school programs, incorporate nutrition education into school curricula, plant school gardens, and engage in other initiatives to improve school food.[2] Like Teach for America and Habitat for Humanity, FoodCorps is a grantee of AmeriCorps.[3]
