Did you know that several BSD schools participate in a food share program in partnership with Hopelink and the Environmental Protection Agency where uneaten food items like milk and fruit are donated to Hopelink’s food bank?
The program prevents and minimizes food waste at four BSD elementary schools: Puesta del Sol, Lake Hills, Spiritridge, and Woodridge.
Uneaten prepackaged and sealed items are collected and sorted with the help of school staff as well as student Green Team members.
