Produce for Kids is encouraging families nationwide to kick off the school year right by pledging to pack a healthier lunchbox August 3 through September 18 at PowerYourLunchbox.com. The Power Your Lunchbox Pledge website offers tools and tips for families and classrooms on eating healthier lunches, after-school snacks, and weekday dinners with recipes inspired by Eric Carle’s popular literary characters including The Very Hungry CaterpillarTM, Brown Bear, The Very Grouchy Ladybug and The Very Busy Spider.
My kids love these little sweet peppers from Pero Family Farms stuffed with cheese, dips or hummus!
For every online pledge, lunchbox-friendly companies supporting Power Your Lunchbox Pledge will make a collective $1 donation to Feeding America® children’s programs such as Kids Café Backpack program and Child Hunger Corps.
