What a week in Baton Rouge! 🐯
Robin and Jimmy visited two schools in the Baton Rouge area to kickoff another year of Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, and we could not be more excited. They shared four pillars that Joe focuses on to stay healthy and happy: sleep, exercise, healthy eating, and emotional regulation. Every student also headed home with a bag full of fresh produce that covers the five food groups so the healthy habits keep building at home. 🍊
We loved our time with the wonderful students, faculty, and staff members at Audubon Baton Rouge Charter and Port Allen Elementary. A special thank you to our volunteers, @capitolcityproduce, and @huntersforthehungrylouisiana for making these possible!
Mental health matters. Today and every day. 🧡
In honor of World Mental Health Day, we’re sharing more about Burrow Blueprint. This program meets students and families where they are, starting in the classroom, so every student has the support they deserve to learn and grow. When kids feel supported, they can focus on what matters most: learning and thriving in school.

Great team. Big plans. Productive day.
Our board spent the day discussing the Foundation’s work, the impact we hope to make in the communities we serve, and the plans to put it all into action.
Thank you to board member Louis Dissel for opening the doors to his newest Another Nine location in West Chester for our recent board meeting, and to @clybornes for providing us with lunch!
We had so much fun hosting this night to Do Good in Cincinnati with Tisdel Distributing, Cincy Mahjong Club, and Amy Tobin & Co.! 🀄✨
44 women joined us for a night of Mahjong, and together we raised more than $13,000, enough to provide 270 meals for families in need this holiday season 🧡
A special thank you to Tervis for donating the most perfect Mahjong-themed cups for this event!
Every yard Joe throws helps us feed families, fund mental health support, and fuel our communities. Thanks to John Burns and the Encore Technologies team, our gameday sponsor of the week, every Yards for Youth pledge is being matched, and that impact is going even further.

This week is Food Waste Prevention Week, a week where the nation comes together to raise awareness and inspire everyday actions to reduce food waste.
With a key focus on food insecurity, JBF is constantly looking for ways to turn food waste into food for those in need, and thanks to partners like @lasoupecincinnati, we are able to do just that.
