SALINAS, CA - With the help of D’Arrigo Bros. and many more supporters, the Publix Produce for Kids campaign has reached the $2.5 million mark for donations to benefit children's charities.

“D’Arrigo is a proud sponsor of the Produce for Kids campaign which brings the produce industry together to educate consumers about healthy eating with fresh produce and raises funds for local children’s non-profit organizations,”  Claudia Pizarro-Villalobos, Marketing and Culinary Manager for D’Arrigo, tells me.

The Publix Produce for Kids Campaign will take place from May 28, through July 1, 2015. This year, the funds raised will be designated to Feeding America.

“Our veggie focus this year is Broccoli – and the campaign includes online marketing, recipes, in-store signage, and social media outreach that are kid friendly to increase vegetable consumption,” Claudia continued.
