Why do we want kids eating more fresh fruits and veggies? Take a look at the current state of our children’s health:
These startling facts demand a healthy change for our country, which is why we are rolling up our sleeves and getting to work! Fresh fruits and vegetables are key to children's healthy eating. They make their bodies feel better and their minds work better.
Skoop is donating 3% of every purchase to the Chef Ann Foundation to fund Project Produce grants to get more vegetables and fruits in front of school age children. Education is key for change to take hold, which is why Project Produce schools will create planned lunchroom activities to showcase and taste fresh vegetables and fruits. That way, kids can taste the goodness and learn about the goodness that healthy foods provide their bodies.
Join our campaign to get more kids eating fresh fruits and veggies!

Skoop and the Chef Ann Foundation have teamed up to launch Project Produce: Fruit and Veggie Grants for Schools. These $2,500 grants help schools increase kids’ access to fresh fruits and veggies and nutrition education.
Any district or independent school participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is eligible to apply.
If awarded the grant you will receive an initial installment of $1,250 and will receive the remainder of the grant reimbursed after completion of your follow up report and submission of your project documentation. Maximum length of time to complete your grant project, follow up report and documentation is 12 months.
*Grantees that fail to complete their follow up report and provide documentation of their project within 12 months from the first installment will forfeit the remainder of their grant.
The application will open February 1, 2015. There is no deadline. Grants will be determined on an ongoing basis depending on available funding.
