Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (FFVP)
The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (
FFVP
) is a federal grant program that provides fresh fruit or vegetable snacks to students in the classroom at qualifying K-5 and K-8 schools. It’s a great way to get students excited about eating healthy and trying new fruits & vegetables.
Twenty seven MPS schools participated in the 2021-2022 Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. MPS Culinary & Wellness Services serves fresh fruit and vegetable snacks to students at participating schools Tuesday-Friday. Each month, the FFVP menu features a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to provide students the opportunity to try and learn about new foods.
FFVP will be starting again on October 25th, 2022
. Future menus and newsletters will be viewable on this page.
Additional Educational Resources
Education is an important part of the Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (FFVP) and snacks can be easily connected to everyday classroom lessons to enhance student learning!
