Two Nevada Schools Welcome Salad Bar Donations

Two Nye County, Nev., schools will receive salad bars donated by United Fresh Foundation, The Vollrath Co. and Cambro Manufacturing Co., at the close of the United Fresh Show in Las Vegas.

J.G. Johnson Elementary School and Manse Elementary School, both in Pahrump, Nev., accepted the donations at the trade show today. Both schools have more than 450 kids in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Snack Program, which provides each student with a fresh fruit or vegetable snack every day.

Lorelei DiSogra, United Fresh vice president of nutrition and health, said the salad bars are “evidence-based strategies” to increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in school-aged children.
