RAMSEY, NJ - The borough’s Strive For 5 challenge kicks off Sunday.

At the end of each week, participants enter the number of days they or their family met the goal online at lightenupramsey.com. Participants with the greatest number of successful days will be eligible for rewards.

Special Talk and Tasting sessions will be held this month. Ideas on how to make fruits and vegetables delicious for children will be held.
