Artisanal Bistro, Time In Program at HiArt & Share Our Strength Will be Hosting 50 Students Age Five Years Old From Public School 30 Hernandez/Hughes in East Harlem

    NEW YORK, NY, February 23, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- February Fondue month takes on a special meaning at Artisanal Fromagerie, Bistro and Wine Bar. On Tuesday, February 26th, from 10 to 11 a.m., our award-winning restaurant will host 50 students from Public School 30 Hernandez/Hughes in East Harlem to experience fondue for the first time.

For these 5-year-old students, many whom live in high-risk areas or have even lived in homeless shelters and domestic shelters, it will be their first time eating fresh produce and cheese. Artisanal's vast cheese selection will provide these children an opportunity to taste a cheese that's beyond American cheese or another over-processed variety. They will not only be eating a healthful meal but dining outside of their everyday environment.

The following sponsors have also made this event possible: Balthazar Bakery is donating baguettes, V & J Produce will provide fresh produce and certified humanely raised, antibiotic free chicken from DeBragga, New York's Butcher which the children will enjoy with their fondue.

This experience would not be possible without the organizing and planning of Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign and the Time In program at HiArt.
