12 million children in the U.S. lack access to healthy food, leading to childhood obesity doubling in the last 30 years. On top of that, providing healthy school meals has a positive correlation to students' academic outcomes.
Learn about Kristin Richmond, the co-founder and CEO of Revolution Foods, a school lunch provider serving over 2.5 million meals a week! Revolution Foods is ranked as one of the healthiest school meal providers in the U.S., directly addressing food insecurity for low-income students with after-school programs, community cooking classes, and nutrition education. With their "kid-inspired, chef-crafted" meals, Revolution Foods emphasizes sustainable supply chains, healthy eating habits, and reducing food waste - all while serving 1.2 million servings of fruit per week in more than 400 cities!
"The link between what I'm doing as a parent, as a community member, and as a CEO is a real honor," says Kristin. "Despite the challenges, purpose and a bigger belief in what I am doing has fueled me to stay in the game."
