Let's Move! Salad Bars to Schools

Any school participating in the NSLP can apply online to receive a free salad bar.

I believe how it works is that you apply, become eligible, and then a combination of local and the grantor raise funds.

What do you receive?

A portable 72 inch 5-well insulated salad bar with two tray slides; divider bars; two 4-inch deep full pans with covers; four 4-inch deep half pans with covers; and twelve 4-inch deep quarter pans with covers; five buffet chilling pads; 16 serving tongs.

Application details and guidelines. 

How Does This Process Work?

1. Submit Completed Application
2. Application Approved for Funding
3. Your district appears on our donation page list of districts eligible for funding and is searchable from the "find your school/district" button on the home page
4. The Initiative and Your Community Raise funds for Your Salad Bars
5. Once Funded, Your Salad Bar is Ordered for Shipment
6. Your Children Eat More Fruits and Vegetables
7. Your district will complete an evaluation twice over the two years following your grant.

Qué Rica Vida website

The Qué Rica Vida website is General Mills' food and lifestyle website for Spanish speakers, specifically targeting Latina moms. It's maybe a little something to link to on a slow day.

Qué Rica Vida (which translates to “What a Rich and Wonderful Life”) is a program that provides tips on healthy living to the Spanish-speaking population in the United States. It also includes a magazine, health seminars and a Spanish language. 

There's also an app for that.
