Students at three elementary schools in Allegany County will have access to free fruits and vegetables through a special award from the Maryland State Department of Education. John Humbird, South Penn, and Westernport Elementary have been awarded funds to expand student access to produce. The program provides a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables at no charge for snacks and school-based nutrition education. Priority was given to schools with high numbers of students from low-income families.
