Potatoes USA sets sights on 2017

After a fiscal year total that saw Denver-based Potatoes USA become the largest private sector donor of salad bars in the Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools initiative, the organization is turning its attention to donations for the 2016-17 school year. Potatoes USA’s FY16 Salad Bar Challenge yielded a total of 212 salad bars donated through the industry, according to a press release. With the kickoff of the new school year, the FY17 Salad Bar Challenge has already seen five salad bar donations confirmed. 1,4 Group, Colorado Potato Administrative Committee Area III, and Aroostook Young Farms have each donated a salad bar, and the Maine Potato Board has donated two. USA Potatoes has an even-match commitment, raising the donation total for a school year that has only been in session a few weeks to 10.
