Pilot Light is excited to be a part of the Food Day movement in Chicago. Pilot Light believes it can make a change for the future health and well-being of children by integrating food into the classroom curriculum.  Their team of chefs and teachers work together to develop classroom lessons that integrate food into the everyday subjects children already learn in school, such as math, science, and social studies. This model leads children to make connections between food and its important role in their lives.

Food Day is a national movement toward healthy, affordable and sustainable food. Change your Facebook and Twitter profile from October 16th - 24th to show support and create awareness around the food revolution!
