We live in a world we want to protect, and reducing food waste will help us do so.🌎

This week we’re recognizing Food Waste Prevention Week, a national
campaign to raise awareness about the importance of reducing food loss and waste. 🍎

We asked some fifth grade students from Rockdale Elementary to share why they believe composting and recovering food through cafeteria Share Carts is important. We loved hearing their responses and feel inspired by their words of wisdom. Why do you think food waste awareness is so important? ♻️

We are excited to share our 2026 Impact Report with you! Check out the report to view program stats, annual survey results, and financial reports. We ended the 2025-26 school year on a high note and are proud to look back on many milestones:

🌎 Welcoming Carthay School of Environmental Studies as a new school partner
🪱 Expanding our Cafeteria to Compost program to all LAUSD GSF partner sites
🌱 Growing our work beyond school campuses through partnerships with LA Family Housing, Angel City FC, and Sprouts Farmers Market and participation in national conferences

As we head into the 2026-27 school year, we are thrilled to add Allesandro Elementary, allowing us to reach over 4,140 students across 12 public school sites. After more than twenty years of serving LA students and their families, our work feels more urgent than ever. Together, we are growing a greener, more hopeful future. 💚

This Hunger Action Month, take action with us! 🍊

Food security is at the core of our programs. Every day, we’re helping students access the food they need to learn and grow, from opening milk cartons and peeling bananas in cafeterias to stocking Share Carts with uneaten cafeteria leftovers.

Through our programs, we’re also:

🥕 Distributing recovered food at daily afterschool food distributions
🥭 Offering free fresh produce through on-campus Farmers Markets
🥬 Expanding growing capacity to produce local fruits and veggies onsite at our schools

September is , a nationwide opportunity to raise awareness about hunger and inspire action to help end it. Join GSF and be part of the movement by sharing this post or supporting your local hunger-relief organization. Find a way to take action in your local community, and together we’ll do our part to help end hunger in LA and beyond.🍎

Everybody wake up! 🐓 We’ve got something exciting to crow about!

We’re thrilled to announce the beginning of our partnership with our newest school garden site, Allesandro Elementary! In the Allesandro school garden you’ll find both hens and roosters, as well as raised beds, fruit trees, and a compost corner. 🪱

As an environmental science magnet school, Allesandro aims to encourage students to identify and solve environmental challenges within the local and global community. We can’t wait to deepen environmental stewardship on campus through Seed to Table and Cafeteria to Compost programming this year! 🌎

Students are officially back in school and we couldn’t be more excited!

To celebrate, some of our staff shared what they are most looking forward to this school year. From discovering insects to composting, mulching, and adding a new school site, we sure do have lots in store! 🌱🪱🪏

No two of our school gardens are alike, and that’s exactly what makes them so exciting! Each garden is unique and we love experimenting with different growing techniques and crops at each school. 🍓

One thing they do all have in common? They’re thriving at this time of year! Take a peek at these recent photos from Grand View Boulevard Elementary and Wilshire Crest Elementary and see what you can spot growing and blooming. Which garden feature catches your eye? 🌼
