Angela McGregor Hedstrom
Senior Community Food Systems Manager
I work to connect school nutrition professionals, food producers, educators, and community partners to increase access to locally sourced and culturally relevant foods in meals and learning activities, in early childhood and beyond. My goal is to support school food programs and educational environments (including the cafeteria) that are deeply rooted in racial equity, belonging, joy, and wonder.
