WASHINGTON, DC - The Foundation for Fresh Produce has started preparing for the fifth annual National Fruits & Veggies Month (NFVM), taking place throughout September.

“As part of our priority to boost appeal through culturally inclusive content, the new social media tactic targets Gen Z and millennial consumers outside of our own followers, with the goal to break through to new audiences we haven’t reached before,” said Katie Calligaro, Director of Marketing and Communications.

The list of influencers include: Lilie Randazzo, Danny Scott, Carita Fambro, Misty Snyder, and Caitlyn Neier.

This year's theme Every Time You Eat, Have A Plant, is well-positioned to emphasize ways to make it easy to enjoy fruits and vegetables at every meal, and snack time. While shopping, dining out, enjoying a meal with family, at school, or on-the-go, there are so many ways to Have A Plant® for better health and happiness, a press release shared.

New to the campaign this year, the Foundation will engage with a group of lifestyle influencers who will be sharing their own unique hacks for how they get their families to eat and enjoy more fruits and vegetables.

“We encourage everyone to leverage the events on social and traditional media to help fruits and veggies shine brighter and promote your own products and brands. There’s strength in numbers, and together we can boost appeal and drive demand for fruits and vegetables to grow a healthier world,” added Calligaro.
