The purpose of the program is to increase fresh fruit and vegetable consumption in elementary schools.  The level of funds provided to any one school depends on the demographics of schools that are selected to participate in the program.  Federal guidelines allow funding based on a range of $50 to $75. 

Selection Criteria
Schools will be selected by the State agency, were based on guidance in this memorandum and oversight by USDA.  Section 19 of the National School Lunch Acts states the selection criteria for schools to participate in this program: 

  • To the maximum extent practicable, the majority of schools selected are those in which 50% or more of students are eligible for free or reduced price meals;
  • Participate in the National School lunch Program;
  • Only elementary schools may participate which eliminates high school applications;
  • Highest priority is given to schools with the highest per cent of low income students;
  • School that are applying must provide a certification of support signed by the school food manager, the school principal and the district superintendent or equivalent positions as determined by the school. 

Additionally, Maine schools with more than 3 late or incomplete reports will not be chosen to participate in the FFVP in the prior school year.  The major reason for incomplete reports is the lack of financial information.

If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Stambach at 624-6732 or Gail Lombardi at 624-6876.   We hope that you will consider taking part in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program as another way to help your students develop lifelong healthful eating habits.
