Freshfruit & Veggie Program
We are happy to offer FFVP at the Augusta Elementary Schools.
Elementary Schools with a high percentage of children eligible for free and reduced price meals may be eligible to participate in the "Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program". The FFVP provides a fresh fruit or vegetable sample for students to try during the school day.
Potential Benefits of the FFVP:
Expand the variety of fruits and vegetables children experience
Increase children’s fruit and vegetable consumption
Make a difference in children’s diets to impact their present and future health
This program is seen as an important catalyst for change in efforts to combat childhood obesity by helping children learn more healthful eating habits. The FFVP introduces school children to a variety of produce that they otherwise might not have had the opportunity to sample.
Just one of the many reasons we do what we do!
