In an August 19th release, the Urban School Food Alliance announced that Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia has joined the organization.
Formed in 2012, the Urban School Food Alliance is a nonprofit advocating for improved meal access. The organization assists member school systems to exercise purchasing power and to reduce costs. Membership includes 19 large school systems across the U.S. including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas and Orlando. The Alliance offers technical support including menu guidance, training, standards, bid practices and professional development.
Given the scope of activities of the Alliance and its membership it is hoped that the AEB is promoting egg dishes based on nutrient contribution, cost and convenience.
