It's School Nurse Appreciation Day! We are so thankful for school nurses and all that they do to promote health and wellness on campus! 🥰

This is Nurse Gobert from Wesley Elementary in @houstontxisd. Mrs. Gobert goes above & beyond putting in the effort to make our program successful at Wesley! She always has a smiling face & eager helping hands. We are lucky to have her as such an active participant along side us at Wesley Elementary! ❤️🏥

Look at these giant potatoes🥔 we distributed at PS228Q in New York City Department of Education! Our staff thinks they are shaped like little aliens 👽, what do you think?

Potatoes are a root vegetable and they can be cooked boiled, baked and mashed! Check out our Tip Sheet on #rootvegetables here 👉https://brighterbites.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Root-Vegetables.pdf

We are officially in Bakersfield, California! 🎉📍

We are partnering with @GrimmwayFarms and @cap_kern to help improve the health of students and families in the Bakersfield area through nutrition education, access to free and fresh produce weekly, and tips on how to store and cook the fruits and vegetables properly.

With the support of CalFresh Healthy Living (SNAP-Ed), this is the third location of Brighter Bites programming in California, following Salinas (2021) and Los Angeles (2022), and we plan to continue expansion across the country to create more communities of health.

“Grimmway has a long history of investment in our local communities and we continue to take the responsibility of stewardship very seriously,” shared Dana Brennan, VP of Government and Public Affairs at Grimmway. “It is an honor to partner with and champion an organization like Brighter Bites – who shares our vision of coming alongside the younger generations struggling with food insecurity delivering fresh produce and the tools necessary to create a lifetime of healthy habits.”

Programming will begin with the Vineland School District, which includes Vineland Elementary and Sunset Middle School, and will serve around 150 to 200 families per week. The program will then offer three different produce box pickup sites during the summer season with the expectation of adding at least six more schools for the upcoming fall school year.

“I want to thank our amazing team along with our incredible partners in reaching the milestone of launching three locations in California in less than a year. We look forward to continuing to expand these programs in to more locations in the near future.” said Rich Dachman, CEO of Brighter Bites. “We are very thankful to Grimmway Farms, CAPK, and CalFresh along with all of our wonderful partners that enable us to implement our program.”

Today's #TeacherAppreciationWeek shoutout goes to Ms. Balderas from Farias Early Childhood Center in @houstontxisd. Teachers at our partner schools serve as healthy role models for their students by introducing the #BrighterBites produce to their class, as well as implementing Brighter Bites #nutritioneducation. We are so grateful for all that teachers do for their students! 💚🥬🍌🍎
