May is National Salad Month!
In May we're celebrating all things salad, green, and growing while also raising money to promote healthy eating and food education. We'll have lots of amazing activities, guest contributions from local chefs, and of course, salad recipes to share throughout the month so be sure to stay tuned.
Here are a few ways you can help:
- Spread the word about National Salad Month to friends, families and fellow educators
- Make a donation to TasteWise Kids
- Participate in an activity or grab a salad from one of our Restaurant Promotion Partners ($1 from each salad goes directly to us)
- Challenge friends to eat salad in May and donate the cost to TasteWise Kids
Check out below for more details about our programming and partners and get tasting!
National Salad Month Promotion Partners
We're so lucky to partner with some fellow-salad lovers this month to help us reach our fundraising goals. Just visit our Salad Month partner restaurants, farmers, and other food businesses to discover their special salad month menu. For example, $1 for each TWK salad goes back to TasteWise Kids. Stay tuned for a list of partners for 2023.
Help Spread Salad Love
You don't know the true power of a salad until you hear about our food literacy programming. For some Baltimore area students, they've never tasted a radish or made their own dressing before. Through hands on programming like our Days of Taste or community events like Food Story Time, we inspire kids to engage with their food and teach them to make healthy eating choices that taste good too!
You can help fund at home salad kits, classroom materials, in-person events and more by donating to TasteWise Kids. Give the gift of salad love!
A Salad Adventure
Each month we create a special bingo board to help kids and their families try new foods, discover tastes, and learn about how plants grow. May's bingo board is an extra special salad adventure.
Join us at the Waverly Farmers' Market on Saturday May 13th for a group salad hunt where you'll meet Baltimore area farmers and put together a super tasty salad. You can also print your salad bingo board and bring it your closest farmers' market anytime throughout the month for a self-guided adventure.
May At-Home Activities
From learning about salads from all around the world to starting your own salad garden at home, we have lots of great activities included in our TWKatHome May content. Our at-home activities are designed for a range of ages and can often be done with only household materials like paper and writing implements.
We also share some great reading suggestions to learn more about salad and prompts for discussion!
Help us spread food literacy to Baltimore area students!
