Every bite is a building block. 🧠🍓�⁠
⁠
When kids have access to fresh, nutritious food, they’re not just eating better, they’re learning better, growing stronger, and dreaming bigger.⁠
At Brighter Bites, we believe that healthy food fuels bright futures. That’s why every bag and box we deliver is more than just produce — it’s potential. 💚⁠
⁠
This school year, join us in making difference one child, one family, and one bite at a time.

🍏 The Produce Gap in America⁠
Did you know that only about 10% of adults in the U.S. are getting the recommended daily servings of fruits and veggies? That means 9 out of 10 adults and nearly all kids are playing catch-up when it comes to nutrition.⁠
⁠
At Brighter Bites, we’re committed to closing that gap—one apple, one child, one community at a time.�Because nourishing their potential starts with fresh food access.

🥦 Learning + Laughing + Label Reading = CATCH-ing Healthy Habits! 🧠�⁠
⁠
This school year, our Brighter Bites kids are diving into nutrition lessons from the CATCH Global Foundation — where they learn how to fuel their bodies with energy-packed foods, one fun activity at a time! 🍎💪⁠
From sorting “GO, SLOW, and WHOA” foods to building balanced meals, these lessons help kids make smart choices that stick — in the lunchroom and beyond.⁠
⁠
Because when kids understand why healthy eating matters, they’re more likely to stick with it. And that’s how we nourish lifelong potential. 💚

At Brighter Bites, a bag of fresh produce is just the beginning. It's a healthier dinner around the table. It's a child showing up to school more focused and full of energy. It’s a parent feeling supported and empowered. 💚⁠
In every community we serve, we're not just distributing fruits and veggies — we’re nourishing futures. 🍎
