Hidden Valley recently announced the 2008 Love Your Veggies™ Nationwide School Lunch Campaign, an initiative that will award $10,000 grants to 51 elementary schools nationwide – one in each state and one in their hometown of Oakland, California – to support programs that increase student access to, and consumption of, fresh vegetables and fruits during school meals.
Millions of students nationwide consume a meal at school daily, and for many, school lunch is the most important meal of the day. Still, studies show that about 96 percent of children 2 to 12 years of age fall short of the recommended 2-5 cups per day, the amount of which depends on their age, sex, and activity level.
Click here and let Hidden Valley know how your school would use a Love Your Veggies™ grant to increase fresh produce consumption in the cafeteria and education in the classroom. It could mean $10,000 for your school!
