We support and center students as they learn and advocate for informed choices by bridging the lessons they learn in their classrooms to the foods on their lunch trays, at home, and in their communities.

In the spirit of Hanukkah, we're sharing a delicious recipe for latkes from one of our Directors, Leah Gordon. Leah told us that she usually makes them "by feel" but agreed to put it to paper for Pilot Light! Check it out at the link in our bio. Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating!

Pilot Light's program has reached far and wide this year and our fellows have been kicking it already! One of our fellows, Mary Smith from Manila, Arkansas, has been partnering with the University of Arkansas program Extension. She had the opportunity to present with Dr. Pruett, Mississippi County Arkansas Family & Consumer Sciences specialist, from the Extension program at a meeting with Manila's City Council, a state representative, and the county judge Monday--about teaching kids about food. We are so proud about the wonderful work Mary Smith is doing!
