The objective of the rollout of the program was to give children that have little or no access to fruit the chance to enjoy fresh fruit throughout the day.

Each week, 75 schools catering for students at high risk of socioeconomic disadvantage receive a 10 kilogram box of fruit to provide to students who might not otherwise have regular access to fresh produce. The types of fruit supplied across the year vary with seasonality, however typically included apples, oranges, mandarins, watermelons and stone fruit.

The program runs on average for 37 weeks a year – meaning that approximately 27,750 kilos of fruit are distributed yearly – and it continues to receive an overwhelmingly positive response from teachers and students.
