LIVE WORKSHOP
You’ve seen the trash cans after lunch: apples with one bite, unopened milk, full sandwiches. Multiply that by 10 schools and 180 days of school. What if a share table could flip that waste into real climate impact?
Wed. Sept. 16, 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern

90-minute live workshop

What you’ll get from this Workshop:
1.
Learn what helped students just like you feel ready enough to speak up, even without having done this before.
Learn how to approach conversations with adults about changes you want to see.Â
2.
Tell the story of what school communities receive
Capture the value share tables bring to students and show why schools without one deserve the same chance to reduce food waste and feed teens. Train yourself to document unopened milk, whole fruit, and untouched food at existing share tables, or at schools that need one, so the waste and opportunity become visible.
3.
Join a postcard campaign for a California Share Table Bill
Hear how students got results by building a statewide postcard campaign in Maryland and testifying in Annapolis, then take action to support Abhinav’s share table Bill in Sacramento.
Hi, We're Cafeteria Victories Â
We help climate-concerned middle and high school students develop leadership so they can partner with sustainability leaders to turn their cafeterias into models for reducing hunger and food waste.
I hear exactly how frustrating it is when Santa Monica-Malibu eighth grader Hailey Nosho feels an “urgency that’s impossible to ignore” and hears we’re “the future while being shut out of decisions that will define the world we grow in."
We're curating the blueprint, designed by your peers, from setting up cafeteria sustainability initiatives as San Diego Unified’s Love Food, Not Waste program specialist to gathering success stories from high schools nationwide through Cafeteria Victories.
Now, we’re coaching you on how to measure the need, tell the story, and move into action.
This is the method that helped Montgomery County Public Schools get county-funded share tables to 118 schools in 2022.
We’ll be sharing the “Share Table Impact Snapshot” to help you make the biggest difference.
Ready to join your peers intent on reducing hunger and food waste faster than you thought possible?
Whether you’re in middle school or high school, in California or somewhere else, this assembly is for you.
Register to join us online on September 16.
Is this Workshop for you?
✔︎ YES, if you want your school’s share table to work in real life, not just on paper.
- You see the gap: some students may be dealing with hunger or inconsistent access to food while unopened food gets thrown away.
- Your school is ready to treat unopened food as a resource, not trash.Â
- You want a simple, respectful way to help good food reach students who need it.
- You can help gather simple information that makes the need visible and harder to ignore.
âś—Â NO, if...
- Students or staff do not see throwing away good, unopened food as a problem worth solving.
- Your school is not interested in the environmental impact of cafeteria waste or the role students can play in reducing it.
- Â Your school is not open to examining the link between food waste, student hunger, and cafeteria practices.
- You want someone else to solve the problem while your school stays on the sidelines.
- You are looking for a full operations plan for running a daily share table.
You’re in. Choose your path.
