Produce for Kids launch healthy lunch campaign

Produce for Kids is encouraging families nationwide to follow those new years health resolutions by pledging to eat healthier lunches in 2017 on their website. From Jan. 4–Feb. 15, for every online pledge, lunchbox-friendly companies supporting Power Your Lunchbox Pledge will make a collective $1 donation to Feeding America programs that support families and children.



In addition to the pledge, visitors to the Power Your Lunchbox Pledge website will find tools and tips to help empower families and classrooms to eat healthier lunches, after-school snacks and weekday dinners. After taking the pledge, families will have access to fresh produce coupons valued at $2.50.

Classrooms in schools across the country can take the pledge, and teachers who visit the PowerYourLunchbox.com teacher resource page can download free nutrition-focused lesson plans, certificates for their students and take- home materials for families. Every teacher that pledges on behalf of his or her classroom has the chance to win a $500 gift card for classroom supplies.

“January is a great time for families to resolve to eat a nutritious lunch through the remainder of the school year,” says Trish James, vice president for Produce for Kids. “The holidays can be busy and getting back into a healthy lunchbox-packing groove can be challenging. The Power Your Lunchbox Pledge was designed to re-inspire families to return to their routine and start the new year on the right foot.”
