ABOUT PROGRAM

January 14, 2010

In collaboration with local teachers at Bret Harte Elementary School and the San Francisco Food Bank 18 Rabbits is developing a Nutrition Education program to encourage and support healthy eating in the community.

In America today, over 16 million Children are living in food insecure households. Many of those children rely on school meal programs for the only nourishment they will receive during the day, while, in addition to this startling statistic, we are seeing an alarming rise in childhood obesity, diabetes, and asthma.

18 Rabbits believes in providing nourishing food and supporting our communities. In action against childhood hunger, we have partnered with the San Francisco Food Bank in order to donate and distribute over 1% of bars made to the morning snack program at local urban schools. These snacks allow students overcome with hunger to regain concentration and activity levels needed to be successful in their daily lives.

Our mission at 18 Rabbits is to ensure that everyone has a right to pure simple food. Through this program we are increasing children’s access to healthy snacks and teaching important food knowledge to the kids and their families so they can make healthier snack choices even outside of the school. Our program will provide a guide for other companies with similar missions to get involved and to help improve the wellbeing of our next generation.

We hope with our bar donations and the education provided through this program will benefit students and their families and allow them to live a healthier life.

18 Rabbits creates simple authentic treats in San Francisco. We bring food back to its roots by developing our treats in a kitchen with ingredients from small sustainable farmers like Straus Family Creamery and Decas Cranberries.

As of December 30, 2009, 18 Rabbits has donated 14,400 granola bars to the Morning Snack Program.
