Overview

Summary

Statement of Purpose

The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), under Section 19 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA), has been a nationwide program since 2008. Schools in Pennsylvania are selected by a competitive application process administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Division of Food and Nutrition. The FFVP provides all children in participating schools with a variety of free fresh fruits and vegetables during the school day. It is an effective and creative way of introducing fresh fruits and vegetables as healthy snack options. Providing a nutrition education component while serving fresh fruits and vegetables is the ideal way to introduce and reinforce good eating habits.

The goals of the FFVP are to:

• Create a healthier school environment by providing healthier food choices

• Expand the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables children experience

• Increase children’s fresh fruit and vegetable consumption

• Make a difference in children’s diets to impact their present and future health

Background

The Scranton School District is a public school district located in Scranton, PA. The district services approximately 9,500 students K-12. The Scranton School District is spread throughout the city across 18 different sites.
