As teachers and students head back to the classroom, it's time to start planning ahead for a school fundraiser. Fresh to You was created as a healthy fundraising alternative for those schools that are currently participating in the BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program. The objective of the program is to sell the healthy bundles of locally grown produce to family and friends in order to assist with schools’ fundraising initiatives. Schools can make a 40% profit by selling bundles of healthy BC grown vegetables such as, potatoes, peppers and butternut squash.

Enthusiastic reports from parents and volunteers have steadily been coming in since the fundraiser started, reporting on the success at their schools. “I just wanted to let you know our Fresh to You fundraiser was a huge success!” said one parent from Captain Meares Elementary Secondary School. “Out of our tiny population of about 300 people, we sold 65 bundles, and the school lunch program bought the last 10, which was our goal.  Food security is a big issue for people in rural isolated communities, and that's why this fundraiser was so good for us here in Tahsis.”
