Today we kick off the beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans.
We recognize the roles Hispanic and Latino Americans play in our communities and use this month to observe, honor, and appreciate their achievements and most of all, their rich culture!

From September 7 – October 31 every dollar donated, big or small, will go toward Brighter Bites' $50,000 goal to help overcome the lack of access children have to healthy fruits and vegetables and nutrition education, and ultimately to provide a more equitable community that fosters a healthy mind, body, and environment.

Thumbs up for healthy foods! 👍
We love seeing kids enjoy eating fresh fruits and veggies! When kids have a hand in preparing foods, they are more likely to try new foods.

💡 Brighter Bites is rooted in the belief that if we give our kids something better to chew on, they will. And the lives they lead will be as vibrant as the foods they crave.
Ahead of this new, yet still very challenging 2021-2022 school year, Brighter Bites is kicking-off the “Brighter Minds Start with Brighter Bites” campaign to raise money that will provide fresh fruits and vegetables and nutrition education to families across the country.
From September 7 – October 31 every dollar donated, big or small, will go toward Brighter Bites' $50,000 goal to help overcome the lack of access children have to healthy fruits and vegetables and nutrition education. For every dollar donated until October 31st, it will be matched up to $50,000.
We need YOU to join us in making this school year healthier for so many families across the country! Link in bio for how you can be a part!

When Brighter Bites was founded in 2012, one of our very first partners and supporters was the @houstonfoodbank! An essential piece of our program is establishing and maintaining great partnerships with food banks and produce partners. Thank you to all of our food bank and produce partners for helping us create communities of health through fresh food!

Do you love blueberries just as much as we do?💙
We love eating blueberries as a snack, in salads, on yogurt, or blended into popsicles!
Blend fresh blueberries with water or milk, pour into popsicle molds, and place in the freezer. Allow to freeze for at least 3 hours! Enjoy this sweet and healthy treat!
