The goal is to teach families how to replicate the recipes at home using inexpensive foods available at any grocery store. It also will offer health and nutrition classes to the students’ families. Under the three-year, $2.3 million contract, the Food Bank will provide nutritional breakfast, lunch and snacks every school day for the full-day program. “We believe we can change the eating habits of San Antonio through our children,” Baray said at an event announcing the partnership held at the Pre-K 4 SA North Education Center. Pre-K 4 SA is teaming up with the Food Bank in a quest to instill healthy eating habits in young children. “At the end of the year, he will be eating and enjoying healthy meals,” Pre-K 4 SA CEO Sarah Baray predicted.
