Thumbs up for healthy foods! πŸ‘

We love seeing kids enjoy eating fresh fruits and veggies! When kids have a hand in preparing foods, they are more likely to try new foods.

πŸ’‘ Brighter Bites is rooted in the belief that if we give our kids something better to chew on, they will. And the lives they lead will be as vibrant as the foods they crave.

Ahead of this new, yet still very challenging 2021-2022 school year, Brighter Bites is kicking-off the β€œBrighter Minds Start with Brighter Bites” campaign to raise money that will provide fresh fruits and vegetables and nutrition education to families across the country.

From September 7 – October 31 every dollar donated, big or small, will go toward Brighter Bites' $50,000 goal to help overcome the lack of access children have to healthy fruits and vegetables and nutrition education. For every dollar donated until October 31st, it will be matched up to $50,000.

We need YOU to join us in making this school year healthier for so many families across the country! Link in bio for how you can be a part!
