Recruiting Fresh Families

Here at Brighter Bites Dallas, we are always looking for opportunities to recruit new families to the program. On January 15th, the day Dallas ISD held parent/teacher conferences, we planted ourselves in the hallways at two of our current sites, Jack Lowe Sr. Elementary and C.F. Carr Elementary. We wanted to meet families who aren’t currently participating in Brighter Bites and remind those who are that produce distribution will start up again soon. We have great participation at these schools but we want to feed with even more impact when we get the chance. We set up shop with all of our usual Brighter Bites supplies, including a basket of crunchy, crispy apples and our nutrition handbooks, and talked with families about the program as they headed off to their meetings. We are thrilled to announce that we recruited 50 new families for the spring semester at Jack Lowe Sr. Elementary! We also reconnected with several returning families and volunteers who are excited about the program starting again soon. At C.F. Carr Elementary, the kids were happy to see us – the apples were a huge hit and we gladly gave out seconds! The participating families and staff members are looking forward to more fresh produce this semester! We can’t wait to kick off the first spring distribution for Brighter Bites in Dallas. It was wonderful to see some familiar faces around the schools and remind our Brighter Biters that we’ll be back in a couple of weeks. See you soon!
