School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program

The BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program is designed to deliver 2 servings of fresh and ready to eat fruits or vegetables to schools every other week for 14 selected weeks in the school year. All fruits and vegetables provided are B.C. grown when possible, and program participants gain knowledge of the healthy benefits of fruits and vegetables, types of produce grown in B.C, and safe hand-washing practices. Over 1,090 B.C. public schools are currently participating in the program.

The BC School Fruit & Vegetable Nutritional Program is a collaborative program from ActNow BC with funding from the B.C. Ministries of Health, Education and Agriculture and Lands. It is administered through the BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation, a non-profit association dedicated to working with educators to bring B.C.’s agriculture to students.
