About USFA
The Urban School Food Alliance (USFA) is a data-driven nonprofit founded in 2012 by school nutrition professionals in large districts with a mission to change the landscape of child nutrition. For more than a decade, its members have worked to improve food quality, access, and sustainability in the United States. In recent years their accomplishments include leading plastic free lunch days - supporting our sustainability initiatives, remaining on the front-lines and continuing to serve meals during local and national emergencies - as featured in our award- winning effort, Hunger Doesn’t Take a Vacation, and supporting monumental change in procurement standards and methods across the industry. USFA leverages this expertise and experience to share evidence-informed practices, make high-quality ingredients available and affordable, and advocate for policies that support programs and students. Sustainable and transformational change takes time, but we are willing to lead the work that it takes to get to the goal. “
