"Sitting at the table, surrounded by family, and the smell of home-cooked food reminds me of the importance of getting back to the basics, reconnecting to who I am; my truth, my story, to lead by example and bring people along with me.  A healthy individual creates a healthy family, which creates a healthy community. Abuela feeds us and warms us with traditions, it’s a strong reminder that it takes a community to raise a child.
I am my ancestor’s wildest dreams." 

Cristian Aguilar, Program Services Specialist with the StopWaste Schools Team, shares reflections on food and family during the holiday season.
