About Our School Grants Program

Overview

We all know how important a healthy diet, including plenty of vegetables, can be for childhood nutrition. But ensuring that kids get the daily recommended servings can be difficult. In fact, studies show that about 93 percent of children ages two to 121 fall short of the recommended 2-5 cups of vegetables per day.

Through the Love Your Veggies^™ program, the makers of Hidden Valley^® Salad Dressings have supported the efforts of parents and schools in helping kids establish a life-long love of veggies. Over the course of five years, the Love Your Veggies program has awarded $960,000 in nutrition grants to more than 80 elementary schools and community organizations nationwide.

The makers of Hidden Valley Salad Dressings created the Love Your Veggies^™ campaign to help schools develop and execute programs to improve their students’ overall health and nutrition. With the significance of lunch in a student’s diet, schools are an integral source to ensure kids are getting the right foods each day.
