Over Crystal River Valley Non Profit Food Coop

Our Missionwe believe the county's alternative schools are under-served in terms of quality nutrition by The Colorado School Lunch Program.The lunches include GMO ingredients, provide barely the minimum nutrition quality for developing healthy young people, and aren't affordable even with discounts, which are used by 30-60% of the students in the systems.The high-carb and sugary content of the diet has been shown to be a major contributor to the three primary health issues of our generation: Obesity, Diabetes, and Cancer.Our purpose is to provide free, fresh, organic, locally-sourced and primarily plant-based lunches to these students, along with free educational courses on nutrition to them and their families.
