Salad Bars to Schools
Salad Bars to Schools (SB2S) is a granting program that provides schools and districts with salad bar equipment and support, such as Cambro bars, camchillers, and technical assistance.
SB2S launched in 2010 with the mission of donating salad bars to U.S. schools so that every child has daily access to fresh fruits and vegetables. This healthy school lunch initiative was a partnership founded by the Chef Ann Foundation, National Fruit and Vegetable Alliance, United Fresh Start Foundation, and Whole Foods Market in support of Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! Initiative.
The program is currently a partnership of the Chef Ann Foundation and Whole Kids Foundation.

With 31 million children eating school lunch everyday, school meals play an important role in kids’ access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
Incorporating salad bars into school lunches can increase children’s consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. Schools with salad bars offer a wider variety of vegetables and fruits, and students can choose from that variety what they want to put on their trays. Through these early, positive experiences, students develop palates for a lifetime of healthy eating.
