School Lunch Funding Opportunity
Here's a great funding opportunity for school lunch:
Hidden Valley Announces Expanded Love Your Veggies Grant Campaign
 


Deadline: November 30, 2007


The Hidden Valley Food Products Company  http://hiddenvalley.com/ ,
 a subsidiary of the Clorox Company http://www.clorox.com/ ,
 will be awarding more than half a million dollars in total grants
 in 2008 to elementary schools across the United States to support
 increased access to, and consumption of, fresh vegetables during
 lunch.
The grant program -- the Love Your Veggies Nationwide
 School Lunch Campaign -- was created to help schools implement
 a recent federally mandated local wellness policy that requires
 schools to develop and execute programs to improve their students'
 overall health and nutrition, and in response to the overwhelming
 shortage of funds available for the execution of these programs.




Hidden Valley, along with its partners the School Nutrition Association http://www.schoolnutrition.org/ and its foundation,
 the Produce for Better Health Foundation  http://www.pbhfoundation.org ,
 will award grants of $10,000 each to fifty-one elementary schools
 in the United States -- one grant per state plus an additional
 grant to a school in Oakland, California, Clorox's hometown.

 Grant funds will be applied to the implementation of a creative
 and sustainable vegetable consumption program, fresh produce,
 program staffing, a training course for school personnel given
 by SNA representatives on how to create a healthy and nutritious
 environment in school, and nutrition education supplies.
 
 All interested schools can get more information and apply for a
 Love Your Veggies grant online at the program's Web site.

Schools
 can apply for a grant beginning August 1, 2007.
