ICARE endeavors to create powerful alliances with other non-profit and for-profit entities that have similar vision. We thank our local and state government for providing such great resources and thank those that work tirelessly to get the word out about advancements, innovation, success stories and other projects that further our shared mission and goals.

Farm to School is broadly defined as a program that connects schools (K-12) and local farms with the objectives of serving healthy meals in school cafeterias, improving student nutrition, providing agriculture, health and nutrition education opportunities, and supporting local and regional farmers.

Food Revolution Day on May 17, 2013 is a chance for people who love food to come together to share information, talents and resources; to pass on their knowledge and highlight the world’s food issues. All around the globe, people will work together to make a difference. Food Revolution Day is about connecting with your community through events at schools, restaurants, local businesses, dinner parties and farmers' markets.
