NPSD benefits from generous donation from Roundy's
Through its contributions, Milwaukee-based Roundy's has helped provide salad bars for 40 schools in Illinois and Wisconsin in support of the United Fresh Start Foundation's Let's Move Salad Bars to Schools campaign.
"Programs that encourage children to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables benefit our produce departments and we're excited to get more involved with schools in the communities we serve," said Steve Jarzombek, Vice President of Produce Procurement and Merchandising for Roundy's.
"Everyone eats with their eyes," said Maggie Bishop, food service director for the Northland Pines School District. "These salad bars are not only useful, but they are beautiful. They will keep fresh fruits and vegetables crisp and garden-fresh, enticing students to try them. We are grateful to Roundy's for their support in helping us provide healthy, fresh produce to our students."
Salad bars empower students to make their own healthy choices and create excitement about trying new fruits and vegetables, ultimately increasing children's daily consumption.
