Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program

The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable program (FFVP) is a grant opportunity for schools to provide children with fresh fruits and vegetables during the school day, at no cost to the children.  The goal of the program is to promote the consumption of fruits and vegetables among school-aged children, educate students about the benefits of fruits and vegetables, and expose them to new varieties.  Teaching children healthful eating habits may help promote a healthy school environment, improve student health, and help combat childhood obesity.
