The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $2,560,849 Project Grant under the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (CFDA 10.582) to the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development to provide free fresh fruits and vegetables to elementary schools with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price meals. The grant aims to increase fruit and vegetable consumption, promote healthy eating habits, and enhance nutrition and diet quality among young students through direct produce distribution and nutrition education. The Alaska Department of Education & Early Development is sub-awarding portions of the grant to multiple local school districts across Alaska, including Bering Strait, Kenai Peninsula, Kodiak Island, Lower Kuskokwim, Northwest Arctic, North Slope, Fairbanks North Star, Juneau, Southwest Region, Lower Yukon, Anchorage, and Matanuska Susitna, to implement the program in their respective regions. These sub-awards will enable the districts to deliver comprehensive educational services, cultural programming, and specialized student support aligned with the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program's objectives.
