🍊🙌Raising our hands for these beautiful clementines!
For some kids, summer can equate to an empty stomach without guaranteed school meals. Thank you to LGS Sales/ @darlingcitrus, a company that cares, for both helping to raise awareness of this problem and helping us to provide a solution! As a result of the Brighter Summer Sweepstakes this back to school season, over 5,000 pounds of citrus were donated to communities in need of fresh and nutritious foods! That means 1,800 families across 12 schools in the Austin and Dallas received these these sweet treats!
