No one ate alone at Oak Park Elementary on Wednesday.

Representatives from Louisiana Healthcare Connections visited the school during lunchtime to celebrate No One Eats Alone Day, an annual global initiative that cultivates a culture of connection among students.

Evelyn Foster, supervisor of community relations for Louisiana Healthcare Connections, said they are on a mission to teach Louisiana children about the dangers of social isolation alongside the nonprofit Beyond Differences and the Centene Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Centene Corporation.
