McCauley Foundation

Creating Opportunities of real Change

LOCAL RESPONSE to A NATIONAL PROBLEM

Current Project NIXA, MISSOURI

The McCauley Foundation is working directly with John Thomas School of Discovery (magnet school) in Nixa, Missouri, to create the Discovery Gardens. These gardens enable up to 500 students in K-6 to gain hands-on experiential learning by growing plants from seed to harvest. The gardens benefit students' nutrition through consumption of more fresh fruits and vegetables and benefiting the larger Nixa community through donations of fresh produce to the local food banks.



BY THE NUMBERS

  • 24 million Americans live in food deserts
  • The average food travels 2500 miles and 18 days before reaching your plate
  • Most organically grown produce will be sprayed with insecticide after crossing a state border
