Produce for Kids (with Giveaway)

We all know that eating more fresh fruits and veggies would help us be healthier, right?  Now we can eat healthier and help kids get healthy too.

Now through the end of July, Produce for Kids is partnering with grocery stores across the country in a Get Healthy, Give Hope campaign.  At participating Fred Meyer and Kroger locations you can make any produce purchase and the store will make a donation to the local children's hospital.  (see below for exact schedule)

And while you're shopping for your produce, keep an eye out for this display with Ideal Meal recipe cards for you to try.  Quick and easy healthy meal ideas centered around fresh fruits and veggies.  Perfect for our busy summer schedules!

Where we live there's a fruit stand on every corner and we love the farmer's markets in the summer!  So it's nice to know that our local Fred Meyer stores also source their produce locally - from the Northwest that means only Washington, Oregon, or Idaho when in season.

We've been the beneficiary of our local Seattle Children's Hospital so I'm happy to support this campaign and hope they will help many more children for years to come.


Campaign stores and dates
Northwest Fred Meyer Stores: through July 26th
Kroger Southwest: through July 24th
Price Chopper: through July 28th
King Soopers: through July 31st
Kroger Central: through July 18th

The following hospitals in our area will benefit: Mary Bridge Children's Foundation (Tacoma, Wash.), Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation (Seattle, Wash.), Providence Sacred Heart Children's Hospital (Spokane, Wash.), St. Luke's Children's Hospital (Boise, Idaho), The Children's Hospital at Providence (Anchorage, Alaska), Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel (Portland, Ore.).

WIN IT!
