Shoutout to JP, a huge supporter of #BrighterBites in New York City! 🙌

JP runs a pantry for his students at @riverdaleavenuecommunityschool in Brownsville Brooklyn. After partnering with their school for 3 years, we returned to work together for the Food Education Grant. RACS was one of our first schools in NYC, and it was wonderful to be back! Thank you, JP, for all that you do!
