“Wellness in the Schools is grateful to Mayor Adams and Chancellor Banks for prioritizing school meals,” Nancy Easton, co-founder and executive director, WITS, said. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Office of Food and Nutrition Services’ Cook Ambassadors and local chefs to bring scratched-cooked, plant-based, and culturally relevant food to nearly one million New York City school children. Expanding our model in the largest school district in the country is a significant step forward in advancing our mission to eliminate obesity related illnesses that begin in childhood.”
