Food Story

Alice Ann grew up eating (and loving) cafeteria food, from the school lunchroom to Jackson’s Cafeteria two towns over. Those early meals shaped her appreciation for food that is comforting, consistent, and nourishing. Today, she is passionate about helping all children have access to nutritious, dependable food—at home, in schools, and in childcare settings.
