Fresh from the Farm: Healthy Fundraising for Ontario Schools
Since its launch, the program has helped over 3,000 schools sell more than $6 million worth of Ontario grown fruits and vegetables, equating to over five million pounds of product. This has resulted in $2.2 million being raised by schools and $3.5 million being returned to local farmers.
