Elementary schools can apply for a chance to receive one

Salad Dressings. Each grant award will support an
elementary school in developing a program offering fresh
vegetables and fruits lasting through the 2009-10 school
year. Each school grant will consist of $15,000 in direct
funding and a one-time donation of Hidden Valley® Original
Ranch® Light Dressing.
Funding must be spent on any of the following:
• Fresh produce (vegetables and fruits)
• A vegetable station (such as a dedicated salad bar)
• Kitchen equipment (primary usage must relate to proposed
program)
• Program staffing (cafeteria personnel, lunchroom staff,
etc.)
• Nutrition education supplies
• Training (such as food safety and nutrition education)
All proposals must be submitted via the grant program's
Web site, http://loveyourveggiesgrants.org/. Proposals

proposals will not be accepted. Schools will be notified
of their award status by March of 2009.
