摘要
Among California's 58 counties, Santa Barbara is ranked 14th worst in meeting residents' daily food needs. In 2007, the Orfalea Foundation launched the School Food Initiative to improve the quality of school food and promote food literacy in the county's public schools. The initiative involved 84 schools and more than 50,000 students over its nine years of programming. Striving to tailor programming to specific needs, the foundation emphasized stakeholder involvement throughout the process. The foundation took a number of steps to understand the value and impact of the initiative, including working with an outside evaluator. This article shares best practices and lessons learned.
