Food For Thought Initiative (Food4TI)
The Food for Thought Initiative (Food4TI) is a volunteer organization that aims to improve food access and alleviate hunger among Madison area school students and their families. Food4TI provides school-based nutritional support because they know that hunger impairs learning, behavior, and ability to attend and focus. They believe students should be hungry to learn, not hungry. In addition to ensuring that every student has access to sufficient and nutritious food, Food4TI strives to increase the awareness of students, educators and the general public that access to sufficient and healthy food is a necessary prerequisite to academic success. Food for Thought volunteers work in partnership with MMSD's Transition Education Program (TEP), East High School students and administrative staff. Faculty from the Social Innovation and Sustainability Leadership Program at Edgewood College provide consultation.
