Virtua Mobile Farmers Market Celebrates ‘Week of the Young Child’ With Fun Visits at SJ Schools

More than 900 South Jersey children enjoyed healthy treats and hands-on lessons about fruits and vegetables, when the Virtua Mobile Farmers Market visited six area schools. The flavorful festivities marked The National Week of the Young Child™, held from April 16 – 20 this year. Children received nutrition education along with seasonal favorites — apples, bananas, carrots, sweet potatoes and clementines. “Virtua’s dedication to promote healthy eating behaviors and provide nutrition education is a core pillar to support health and well-being,” explained Suzanne Ghee, Assistant Vice President of Strategic Business Growth & Community Health Engagement for Virtua. https://southjerseyobserver.com/virtua-mobile-farmers-market-celebrates-week-of-the-young-child-with-fun-visits-at-sj-schools/
