The Life Time Foundation

is focused on inspiring healthy people and supporting a healthy planet. Through our various missions we're able to work toward creating a positive change in everything we do.

HEALTHY SCHOOL LUNCHES START WITH YOU.

We're on a mission to improve elementary school lunches around the nation.

First on the list was Minneapolis/St. Paul. Now we are expanding to Dallas, Phoenix, and Chicago. Where we'll go next is up to you! Get your community involved by encouraging your local school to submit an application. Anyone can start the process. In the coming months, we'll select new schools and work with administrators and parents to remove bleached flour, processed sugar, food coloring, high-fructose corn syrup, preservatives, trans fats and hormones from their lunch menu.
