Today is National Food Bank Day, and we`d like to take the opportunity to celebrate all the incredible work of our local food pantries who serve our communities on a daily basis. Countless Pilot Light classrooms have partnered with their local food banks to organize food drives as part of their Food Education work, because we believe in teaching advocacy and action, not just words on a page. You can discover food advocacy resources - including templates for starting your own project in your classroom - on our FREE Food Education Center at foodedu.pilotlightchefs.org 🍽
