As part of the fundraising campaign, we support the kindergartens in
Erdmannhausen with fruit and vegetable deliveries. Children should
learn that fruits and vegetables are not only healthy, but also taste
good. This enables us to make an active contributionto the future of
our society.

With the endeavor to introduce children as early as possible to a healthy
and balanced nutrition, the EU school fruit program is offered in Baden-
Württemberg since February 2010. For this purpose, the EU Member
States provide 90 million euros annually for the distribution of fruit and
vegetables in schools and pre-school facilities. Of this, around 2.5 million
euros allotted to the state of Baden-Württemberg. From the funds of the
EU 50 percent of the costs for supplying the organisations with fresh fruit
and vegetables can be covered with.
