Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program
Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program
Make at least half of your plate Fruits and Vegetables!
The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) provides an opportunity for all children in participating schools to receive a variety of free fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the school year. FFVP is a cost-reimbursable grant where the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reimburses schools for costs associated with making fresh fruits and vegetables available to students. The goals of FFVP are to expand the variety of fruits and vegetables children experience, increase children’s fruit and vegetable consumption, and make a difference in children’s diets to impact their present and future health.
