United Services to receive PBH award

UNITED SERVICES
RECEIVES PBH FOUNDATION AWARD RECOGNIZING INNOVATIVE NUTRITION PROGRAM

United Services announced today that the agency will be recognized as a "Fruits & Veggies—More Matters Role Model for 2011" by the PBH (Produce for Better Health) Foundation! The agency's staff created a Lunch Bunch program designed to
educate students about fruits and veggies and ultimately increase the consumption of those food groups in compliance with the recommendations of MyPlate USDA.  All Role Models and Champions will be recognized at a special luncheon at the PBH annual meeting on Friday, March 30th.

United Services parent Kristen Jairam notes “I’ve been so impressed with Lunch Bunch’s goals and means for achieving them.  Teaching children at such a young age to love fruits and vegetables and to embrace a culture of trying new things allows kids at United Services to grow up strong, to be healthy and aware of what’s best for them.  I fully support and praise the Lunch Bunch program!”
