The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program

The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) is a federally assisted program providing free fresh fruits and vegetables to children at eligible elementary schools during the school day. 

The goal of the FFVP is to introduce children to fresh fruits and vegetables to include new and different varieties, and to increase overall acceptance and consumption of  fresh, unprocessed produce among children. The FFVP also encourages healthier school environments by promoting nutrition education.
