ShopRite has announced an expansion of its Free Fruit For Kids program to 54 additional stores in the Mid-Atlantic.
The newest store locations offering the Free Fruit For Kids program in Delaware include ShopRite of Brandywine in Wilmington and ShopRite of Four Seasons in Glasgow.
“We believe it’s never too early to begin teaching kids about the importance of good nutrition,” says Natalie Menza-Crowe, 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.
