United Fresh Start Foundation Connects Chicago Produce Members with Local School District

On Wednesday, September 28, the United Fresh Start Foundation organized an opportunity for salad bar donors from the Chicago area to visit several schools in East Aurora School District 131. The group had an opportunity to observe students using their new salad bars and learn about the district’s other innovative programs that are increasing students’ access and consumption of fresh produce at school and at home.

“The leaders in this school district have shown that they are fully invested in the health and wellbeing of the children and families in their community,” said Andrew Marshall, Director of Programs and Partnerships for the United Fresh Start Foundation. “They have rallied parents, teachers, local government, nonprofit and community partners to support multiple nutrition strategies, including school salad bars, that are increasing students’ access to fresh fruits and vegetables. We were honored to learn about their work and share their efforts with local produce industry partners.”

Prior to the start of the 2016-17 school year, the East Aurora School District 131 (EASD 131) received nine new salad bars with more to be delivered in the months ahead. These contributions were made possible by the following produce companies and individuals, as part of the Foundation’s Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools initiative:

  • JAB Produce/Jack Keller Co.
    Mark Harrison, Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A., Inc.
    Potandon Produce
