On Tuesday afternoon, Indiana Pacers guard Joe Young, Indiana Fever center Natalie Achonwa and former Fever star and current Director of Player Programs Tamika Catchings teamed up with local non-profit Kitchen Community and visited students at Thomas Gregg IPS #15 in downtown Indianapolis to demonstrate the importance of healthy eating and nutrition.
Kitchen Community builds Learning Gardens at schools around the city, which serve as an outdoor classroom to teach students about how to grow food, as well as the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.
"The mission of the Kitchen Community is to connect kids to real food, to teach them where their food comes from and empower them to make healthy choices," Regional Director of Kitchen Community Theresa Vernon said.
