Dietary Need

Sometimes the battle is making sure your child is consuming the foods they need to reap the health benefits that these foods provide. Show them the value of eating balanced diets using the chart below. Teach your child the importance of each nutrient and in which foods it can be found. Many times, children do not want to eat something, but when it has a benefit or “superpower” that they can understand, they may be more willing to try.

We will publish how your donations are making an impact. Come back soon for an update

SPEECH

Feeding Bodies, Fueling Futures—One Bus, One Child, One Change at a Time

I have a cause, see what I do and love at www.AndaleOnWheels.org, Named after my iconic small fast food restaurant Andale Latino Grill. Check it out at www.AndaleLatinoGrill.com. I have been feeding 60 kids a hot meal weekly for the past few years and the ones who are still in my program are like my adopted children. They call me Pappa. I recently purchased a 40’ (12.2 Meters) long school bus, which is being converted to a mobile restaurant.

I believe food insecure kids, not only need their physical bodies fed, but their mind and their spirits as well. We will travel together away from the slums they live in and drive through nice neighborhoods in this bus showing them that there is a different life available for them beyond their slums.
