Tips from Award Winners
Gain
knowledge and experience
with bidding and purchasing
foods to be able to afford the
costs associated with the
HealthierUS School Challenge.
Use the Department
of Defense (DoD) Fresh Fruit and
Vegetable Program to help with the
cost of produce. (Barbara Griffiths, Food and
Nutrition Supervisor,
ISD 196,
MN)
Use Team Nutrition
Training Grants to help
offset costs! (Gooding
Elementary, ID)
Use a
Farm to School
grant to serve the
children different fruits as a
snack during the school day.
(Sublette Elementary,
KS)
Cut
costs associated with whole
grain products by
eliminating pre-made foods and
buying raw ingredients, instead. Initially,
this may be frustrating for the
food service staff but, after
strategies were established to
follow the recipes efficiently,
the staff will embrace the
homemade meals! (Sublette
Elementary,
KS)
