Kaiser Permanente of the Mid-Atlantic States and the United Fresh Foundation is announcing the donation of salad bars to seven D.C. Public Schools in Wards 7 & 8 through the Let's Move Salad Bars to Schools initiative. The partnership will officially make the announcement at an event at Burrville Elementary School in Northeast D.C. on December 5th with a ceremonial "Ribbon Cutting” with students and school officials. One-on-one interviews with students and school officials will also follow.
The United Fresh Foundation is a founding partner of Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools, which supports First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative to end childhood obesity in a generation, according to a press release. Kaiser Permanente’s donation builds on their commitment to improving the health and wellness of children in Wards 7 & 8 communities and supports Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools.
