Louisiana Appleseed is a nonprofit organization that unites problem solvers and policymakers to increase access to education, justice, and opportunity. At its 2019 Good Apple Gala, the organization presented Senior Counsel Dreda Smith with an award for her pro bono service to the organization. Dreda received this award in connection with her work on the Louisiana School Breakfast Report. The Report advocates for increased participation in the National School Breakfast Program as a means of reducing hunger and improving health and educational potential of students throughout Louisiana. We congratulate Dreda on this achievement and applaud her efforts to serve the community.
