BACKGROUND:
Noodles & Company features made-to-order noodles, soups and salads inspired from around the world and strive to always nourish and inspire the individuals within the communities it serves. To help reach this goal, community involvement is an important part of how each restaurant does business in each individual community in which it operates. Noodles & Company works with a variety of partners including schools, high school and college student organizations, non-profits supporting the arts and a range of events that promote healthy, active lifestyles.
"Wrap Your Own-Iowa Grown" is an initiative of the Iowa Farm to School Program that was started in the fall of 2009. It has continued and is a great opportunity for schools, students, teachers, parents, and the communities to get involved and promote Iowa producers and the Iowa economy, not to mention to encourage healthy eating habits for Iowa children. The goal of this initiative is to promote the purchase of locally-grown vegetables and products to create Iowa grown wraps. This is also an opportunity for students to eat something healthy with great Iowa fixins.
