MPT SUPPORTS AN INNOVATIVE ORGANIZATION WORKING WITH BIRMINGHAM SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS
MPT champions the educational programs that help kids learn about raising fruits and vegetables, good nutrition and the culinary arts.

Through the Good School Food program, students from schools across the region benefit from:
