Produce For Kids Give HOPE Campaign at Publix
It’s the time of year for all that beautiful produce to be available at your favorite stores. I know you all know that Publix is one of my favorite stores and there has been great deals for weeks!
I know I look at all the goodies and instantly start thinking of recipes I can make that my husband and I will enjoy. But what about the KIDS?! I wanted to take this opportunity…along with Publix and Produce for Kids to remind you about keeping the kids eating healthy.
PUBLIX PARTNERS WITH PRODUCE FOR KIDS® FOR 12th ANNUAL GET HEALTHY, GIVE HOPE CAMPAIGN TO ENCOURAGE HEALTHY EATING
One of my favorite parts is that this is a campaign to raise local funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®
The Get Healthy, Give Hope campaign will hopefully raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for children’s organizations. The joint campaign, which began on May 29, will educate families on the benefits of healthy eating and raise money for Publix’s designated charity – local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®. Since 2002, Publix customers and associates have raised nearly $2.3 million for local children’s organizations.
To help increase its donation, shoppers are encouraged to add more produce to their grocery carts. All 12 participating fruit and vegetable suppliers will make a consumption-based donation to local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®, which provides comfort, treatment and hope to millions of sick kids.
Throughout the campaign, signage will be featured in Publix produce departments, which will list all participating companies, as well as healthy, easy-to-prepare recipes. In-store materials also will encourage shoppers to visit www.produceforkids.com for additional information on the campaign and to read healthy tips from real parents.
For the third year, Produce for Kids also will partner with Sprout®, the 24-hour preschool television channel. For more information, please visit www.produceforkids.com or Produce for Kids Facebook page.
