When a school partners with the Red Rabbit food company, students are met with a vibrant plate of Dominican, Jamaican or Indian food - all made from scratch. The company's mission: to bring healthy meals from all cultures to the school cafeteria.
"We're constantly pushing what school food should look like beyond what the standard and what is considered school food," said Naeema Arrastia, Red Rabbit's chief business officer. "Today, what Red Rabbit is doing is hiring professionally trained chefs from the communities that we serve, which allows them to create culturally relevant meals that are not only great tasting but authentic."
The Black-owned food company currently serves more than 45,000 meals to kids daily across 10 cities, with plans to bring diverse school lunches to Washington, D.C., this fall. The organization also transforms lunchrooms into a celebration of culture, down to the music they play for the students. The idea is to remind children to be proud of their heritage.
