Where Principals Signed the Pledge

Help recover food at 100% with shared tables and mini-fridges

The purpose of SHARE is the collection and proper storage of unopened, pre-packaged individually wrapped food items, including milk, juice or produce from GCS meals that cannot be returned to the school kitchen.

These SHARED items can be made available to any student within the school any time during the school day.

Getting Started

Once the start date has been established and the refrigerator delivered roll out the program with fanfare.

Have students make posters and have morning announcements made letting student know

“Don’t to throw away recoverable food like prepackaged and unopened milk, yogurt, fruit and packaged vegetables.”

And remember, food prepared at home cannot be shared.

Recruiting Volunteers

Volunteer options might include working at the school at the start of the program and check in periodically with the green team to ensure the program is working or taking food to the food bank or set up a system for Friday collection.

Meet the organizations and volunteers that can help you.

Solutions are immediately implementable for a $440 investment per school that can be covered by the following sponsors:
