12. We believe the way to sustainably strengthen our communities and fund
critical school- and civic-related activities is to support the growth of
local food systems. By giving students the tools to advocate for and sell
wholesome, local products, we are restoring value and purpose to
annual fundraising rituals that have lost their way in a sea of sugar and
junk food. --Mark W. Abbott, Founder
