Gina Gabel & Thrive's Youth Council

Thrive

Thrive's mission is to deliver healthy school meals to children facing food insecurity. They partner with schools to provide more than 12,000 meals to school children each week in Bangladesh and the Philippines. These efforts help improve nutrition, boost school attendance, and increase learning readiness. Just $10 feeds a child a nutritious meal each school day for an entire month. Every meal provides nutritional needs via seasonal fruits, vegetables, and protein. In the past 12 years, Thrive has delivered over 4 million nutritious meals.

This past year, they created a Council of Youth Ambassadors composed of local high schoolers who are raising funds to deliver healthy meals to the school children we serve. Gina Gabel, founder of Thrive, along with a few local students in Thrive's Youth Council, will share more about Thrive's history and impact.
