The 2023 Missouri Apple Crunch Is Coming!

Don’t you love the sound of biting into a fresh, crunchy apple? October is National Farm to School Month. To celebrate, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is sponsoring the Missouri Crunch Off. There is very little planning on your part that will be a lot of fun for the children and families in your program. Your onsite event can be anytime during October. It can be as simple as serving apples or other crunchy fruits or vegetables at lunch or snack to planning a taste test of crunchy apples at pick-up. To register your program click on the QR code in the picture.

Have a specific question? Contact Lisa Lauer at the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. She can be reached at Lisa.Lauer@health.mo.gov.

Child Care Aware® of Missouri will be participating in the fun. Join the CRUNCH!
