West Goshen Selected to Participate in USDA FFVP Program
We are excited to announce that West Goshen Elementary has been selected to participate in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) through a grant administered by the Indiana Department of Education.
The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) provides an opportunity for all children in participating schools to receive a variety of free fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the school year. FFVP is a cost-reimbursable grant where the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reimburses schools for costs associated with making fresh fruits and vegetables available to students. The goals of FFVP are to expand the variety of fruits and vegetables children experience, increase children’s fruit and vegetable consumption, and make a difference in children’s diets to impact their present and future health.
