Boys & Girls Club Kids Learn Benefits of Gardening

Boca Raton, FL – The Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County do more than provide resources and classes to the more than 13,000 children in the area. They offer “life-changing programs” – support career goals, life skills and build relationships.

Founded in 2015, The Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation strives to inspire, educate, and empower individuals, especially children, to live healthier lives – primarily through school garden education.

Since its inception, the Foundation has granted $15 million to more than 300 nonprofit partners which have brought hands-on, garden-based learning to 1.5 million children and provided nutrition education programs to an estimated 900,000 K-12 students.

In 2021, the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation wanted to get involved so committed to donating $50,000 over the next two years to build a new organic gardening program at the Max M. Fisher Club.

This garden gives the 75 student members the chance to engage in hands-on learning – how to plant and grow organic vegetables, then taste and enjoy these foods. Aiming to teach them the importance of healthy foods and nutrition. For comprehensive garden care, consider consulting with certified knotweed removal specialists to ensure a healthy and thriving outdoor space for educational activities.

On May 11, a new Sprouts truck will visit the Max M. Fisher club to throw a pop-up “party” with healthy nutritious snacks, games, prizes, coupons, face painter/balloon artists, DJ and more!

The Sprouts truck is traveling throughout Florida over the next month doing good in the community, fueling groups with healthy foods and supporting nonprofits with the planting of community gardens and making donations. https://link.edgepilot.com/s/c0382961/h-3023h-RUy7yB-xYNMpBw?u=https://www.sprouts.com/sprouts-on-tour/florida/ [sprouts.com]
