In the fall, WITS faced a big challenge: our hands-on, seasonal cooking lessons (WITS Labs) were scheduled in 87 NYC schools, but we had no ingredients! In just a few days, Hain Celestial came to our rescue, with hundreds of bottles of olive oil and other dry ingredients to make our tasty recipes during Kale and Apple Labs. Throughout our Fall and Winter Lab rounds, Hain has continued to provide ingredients, giving 40,000 NYC children a chance to see, touch, taste, and smell fresh whole foods.
