Dallas Completes Fall Season in Brighter Bites Style

Dallas has wrapped up a fantastic fall this year with 665,000 pounds of produce delivered to 2500 families. To mark the occasion, some parent volunteers celebrated in Brighter Bites style! At Roger Q. Mills Elementary, the volunteers organized a Thanksgiving-inspired get together. Everyone brought a side dish whose main ingredient was a fruit or vegetable. Ana Saldana brought a beautiful and delicious zucchini and corn casserole. Kudos to Ana for embracing Brighter Bites in her everyday cooking — it was a big hit! At Brighter Bites, our volunteers come together each week to work hard, but they also have a chance to develop friendships and create community. For centuries, people have come together around food — planting, harvesting, eating in small groups, and gathering for large celebrations. We are continuing this tradition by creating a community around fresh produce and giving that community the opportunity to make healthier choices. Our volunteers in Dallas made it happen. We hope you will too! Happy holidays!
