The Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (FFVP) provides all children in participating schools with a variety of free fresh fruits and vegetable snacks during the school day. This program is an effective and creative way of introducing fresh fruits and vegetables to students as healthy snack options and positively impacts the diet of the children in our District by exposing them to a variety of fruits and vegetables they otherwise may not have had the opportunity to sample.

The Goals of the FFVP:

• Expand the variety of fruits and vegetables that children experience
• Create healthier school environments by providing healthy food choices
• Increase children's fruit and vegetable consumption
• Make a difference in children's diets to impact their present and future health

This program is an important catalyst for change in efforts to improve the children in our District's overall diet and create healthier eating habits to impact their present and future health. For the 2017-2018 school year, The School District of Palm Beach County had the opportunity for 19 schools to continue participating in this valuable FFVP. Each participating elementary school is eligible to receive $50.00 per student for the entire school year.
