Fuel Up To Play 60

Chelan Fresh is proud to be part of the Fuel Up to Play60 program that encourages school age children to make nutritious food choices to fuel their activities. Through our donations to this program, over 20 schools have been able to purchase rolling carts or commercial blenders that create easier access for students to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables. The FUTP60 program also provides leadership opportunities and educational programs for middle and high school students to mentor elementary students to make healthy nutrition choices and engaging in physical activity.
