power of produce (POP) Club
components
Two Bite Challenge - Kids try two bites of a new fruit/vegetable. Even if they don't like what they eat, they’re rewarded for being brave and trying something new. Each challenge they participate in, they get $2 in market tokens to spend on produce.
Token Shopping - Participants in the Two Bite Challenge get $2 in market tokens to spend on market produce. This is a fun and empowering way for kids to enjoy fresh, WA produce. Some kids save up tokens up to buy something entirely themselves.
Activities are periodically hosted to do with food, nutrition, health, gardening, and more. Want to know what activity we will have at POP Club each week? Sign up for our weekly market newsletter or follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
Benefits
POP Kids are empowered to make healthy food choices using the $2 tokens. Through Two-Bite Challenge and periodic activities, they get exposure healthy food options that will be foundational to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
