Our Impact

Strategic Procurement:

The Urban School Food Alliance proactively works on crafting bids and policies that focus on elevating school meals for the health and wellness of students. Quality food, environmentally friendly supplies, forecasting demand for local sourcing, and lowering overall costs are the core mission for the Alliance when it comes to procurement.

Best Practices:

One of the Alliance’s core values is to share best practices not only among Alliance members, but with districts throughout the country as well. Through sharing with fellow members during monthly calls and at bi-annual meetings and with the greater school nutrition community at the many prestigious conferences Alliance members are invited to speak at, all can benefit from the groundbreaking efforts of Alliance districts. To view some of the recent best practice presentations, head over to our Resource Center.
