The fresh fruit and vegetable program, initiated at the federal level and in partnership with the states, is designed to provide free fresh fruits and vegetables to students in participating elementary schools during the school day at times other than breakfast, lunch, or after school snack and to encourage healthier school environments by promoting nutrition education and expansion of the variety of fruits and vegetables that children experience, through grants-in-aid and other means.
