New Mexico love! Beautiful, healthy, tasty spinach salads served by Las Cruces High School's brand new kitchen manager, Anel Ontiveros, and her awesome crew. Thank you to our wonderful friends and farmers at De Colores Farms and La Semilla Food Center for growing these greens! Extra special shout-out to AFSC alum, Mario Holguin, for setting this up, and to American Friends Service Committee AFSC New Mexico for making all of this possible for our students. We appreciate you!!! 🥗❤

We are excited to be partnering with the Fund to expand our library of free curated digital resources for schools and communities! With this expansion, we’re furthering our reach to our Spanish-speaking populations as part of our mission to prepare kids to be healthy in body and mind.

Action for Healthy Kids addresses the root causes of the child health crisis by ensuring that children in underserved communities are supported with the three foundations of lifelong health: optimal nutrition and physical activity; safe and supportive environments; and stable and nurturing relationships with adults.
