Sometimes getting kids to try healthy foods starts with making them feel fun, familiar, and a little less scary. Our superhero pepper video turns colorful peppers into adorable superheroes kids can root for! 💥⁠
⁠
From brave green pepper sidekicks to crunchy red heroes, it’s a playful way to spark curiosity about healthy foods and encourage kids to give something new a try.⁠
⁠
Because at Brighter Bites, we know healthy habits are built one small bite at a time. ❤️⁠
⁠
We want to hear from you👇⁠

Peppers are packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. 🫑❤️ From sweet bell peppers to spicy jalapeños, these colorful veggies help support immune health, digestion, and healthy habits for the whole family.⁠
⁠
That’s one reason we’re celebrating peppers all month long at Brighter Bites! 🌶️⁠
⁠
Through fresh produce distributions and nutrition education, we help families discover simple, delicious ways to enjoy more fruits and vegetables at home, making healthy choices feel approachable and fun.⁠
⁠
What’s your favorite way to eat peppers? 👇⁠

We’re celebrating peppers in all their forms this month 🌶️—sweet, smoky, mild, and spicy!⁠
⁠
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we’re spotlighting a classic Mexican dish featuring poblano peppers: chile rellenos. It’s a simple, flavorful way to bring peppers to the center of your plate. Give it a try!⁠

Thank you to @BashasMarkets and @FirstFruits_Farms for your generous donation Granny Smith apples to our Phoenix program! Together, we can "Take a Bite Out of Hunger"!🍏⁠

Last week, we welcomed the Bashas’ team at Frank Borman Elementary School in Phoenix to see their donation in action. The team, along with our school volunteers, sorted and packed the produce bags filled with FirstFruits Farms apples, cabbage, squash, tomatoes, carrots, and more! ⁠

Cornhole for a Cause!⁠
⁠
Last week we hosted a cornhole tournament to raise funds for our Las Cruces program. It was wonderful to see colleagues, partners, family, and friends come together in one place, connecting with each other and experiencing the impact of Brighter Bites while sharing in its success. At the event, we had the pleasure to present the Community Partner of the Year Award to Roadrunner Foodbank. We also heard from Brighter Bites participant Jessica Conder and her family about how the produce has helped them cook and eat healthier, with noticeable improvements in their family’s lifestyle since their son was in 2nd grade, now in 4th.⁠

We’re excited to share our 2025 Annual Impact Report, highlighting the work we've done with bringing fresh food and nutrition education to families nationwide! While this year brought significant shifts in federal funding, we remained steadfast in our mission and adapted quickly, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever. ⁠
⁠
Last year, Brighter Bites distributed over $20.1 MILLION worth of fresh produce, reaching 264,354 students, teachers, and families across 13 cities. Thanks to our amazing volunteers, dedicated partners, and committed supporters we’ve continued to make a difference in communities nationwide despite the challenges we came across. ⁠
⁠
We are grateful for your continued support as we continue to evolve and grow as an organization. We're ready to grow our impact in 2026!
