Jackie Kincaid (1991 alumna) founded GROW, kitchen & kids after seeing the need to nourish, and in turn, educate students on healthy unprocessed foods. GROW, kitchen & kids is passionate about creating healthy, balanced, made-from-scratch school lunches, paying close attention to the ingredients, and is dedicated to sourcing from local producers, such as including McGonigle's meats and Farm to Market Bread. Families can feel confident that each meal is prepared fresh using quality ingredients, with balanced nutrition & attention to value.
