Kids 12 and under will receive a free seasonal fruit while shopping with a parent or guardian.
ShopRite recently announced that it is expanding its Free Fruit For Kids program to 54 additional stores, bringing the grand total of stores now offering the program to over 125 locations in the supermarket’s six-state trading area, which includes New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland.
The popular program, which first launched as a pilot in December 2016, is one of several initiatives offered by ShopRite that is designed to encourage a lifetime of healthy eating habits for children.
“We believe it’s never too early to begin teaching kids about the importance of good nutrition,” says Natalie Menza-Crowe, MS, RD, director of health and wellness at ShopRite. “We’re grateful to have the opportunity to provide free fruit to kids as a way to encourage better-for-you snacking. Plus, by offering free classes, store tours, and other programs for kids, we’re able to help children learn lifelong lessons about healthy eating and basic cooking skills.”
As part of the Free Fruit For Kids program, kids 12 and under receive a free banana, clementine or other seasonal fruit while shopping with a parent or guardian.
