Most of my students live in food deserts and do not have access to fresh, local produce or the resources to make healthy food choices. The neighborhoods they live in have many liquor and convenience stores but few grocery stores. The first thing most of my students ask when they come to my office is what snacks I have for them.
By providing delicious and nutritious snacks, such as Krave Jerky, Bumble Bee Chicken Salad, and Planters Heart Healthy Nut Mix, students will be able to focus at school and learn about healthy snack alternatives. Being full and eating healthy foods, like the tasty Kind bars, greatly improves overall wellbeing and keeps students from feeling hungry throughout the school day.
