The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program provides all children in participating schools with a variety of free fresh fruits and vegetables outside of the lunch period. The goal of the program is to: • Create healthier school environments by providing healthier food choices. • 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. • Introduce healthy snack options. Funding for the program comes from the USDA Farm Bill for the National School Lunch Program. Utah’s total funding for the program is $2.8 million and it is available through an application process. Preference is given to schools with low income households.
