Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Program

Goals of the FFVP:

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 diet and improve 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 the opportunity to sample.

According to federal regulations, the selection criteria for participation in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program are as follows:

Only elementary schools can participate.
Each interested school must annually submit an approvable application.
Highest priority must be given to schools with the highest percentages of low-income students.
