🍎 Hello! Nice to meet you!

If we haven’t met yet, we’re #BrighterBites, the #nonprofit that delivers fresh #fruits and #vegetables directly to families. We teach them how to use it and track their behavior change. We make it fun. We make it free. And we make it happen with a simple formula:
🥦Produce Distribution +
📚Nutrition Education +
🧑‍🍳Fun Food Experience

Brighter Bites provides regular access to fresh produce, #nutritioneducation, and #healthytips to families in under-resourced communities nationwide. Studies show children and parents who received Brighter Bites demonstrated a significant increase in their fruit and vegetable consumption, a significant decrease in amount of added sugars consumed among children, and a significant increase in eating produce-heavy meals together at home. And these habits stick!

Each programming week, #BrighterBites heads to schools and camps to distribute 20 pounds of fresh, seasonal produce for families and teachers. We teach kids, parents, and teachers how to make the most of it with easy recipes, kitchen tips, and nutrition education. We believe in creating a welcoming environment to connect and engage with families through in-person produce distributions and recipe demos.
