2024 VSBA Food For Thought Competition

The VSBA would like to invite you to participate in the 12th annual Food for Thought Competition. The Food for Thought Competition is a friendly competition between Virginia’s school divisions to showcase their programs that combat childhood hunger, provide healthy school meals, and encourage wellness and physical activity. There are three separate competition categories. You may apply to be recognized for the division’s efforts in the following categories:

• Meal Access to Fight Hunger
• Healthy School Meals
• Wellness/Physical Activity

Please complete a separate application for each program. If you school division was recognized as a winner in the previous year, you may not submit an entry for the same program.

The deadline for the 2024 deadline has passed.
