Students Learn Grocery Skills Through Peapod's Kids Give Back Program

From the Town of Mansfield:

MANSFIELD, MA - Students from Jordan/Jackson Elementary School in Mansfield met a Peapod delivery truck at their Daily Bread Food Pantry to help unload a $250 grocery donation they pieced together on behalf of Peapod’s Kids Give Back program. The students used nutrition and budgeting lessons to implement action in their community.

Fourth grader Peyton Hansbury commented, "I think helping people makes you a better person and I think that everyone should donate because it is nice to give instead of always getting."

Peapod is pleased to encourage the next generation to give back to the community and help instill healthy eating and budgeting lessons at an early age through their Kids Give Back program.

Student Claire Copp stated, "This program gives kids like us a chance to give back to families that may not have as many food choices as we do."
