Coborn’s, Cash Wise and Marketplace Foods have partnered with Healthy Family Project and several produce brands to launch the 2025 Produce for Kids campaign.
Running through Aug. 12, the campaign encourages Midwest families to make healthier choices at home while supporting local Boys & Girls Clubs.
This year’s effort will result in a $7,000 donation to fund youth development programs in the region, bringing the impact of the campaign to $19,000 since 2021.
Shoppers will discover summer-themed produce signage throughout Coborn’s, Cash Wise and Marketplace Foods stores. Each sign features a QR code that leads to a campaign landing page, where families can access recipes, campaign details and RSVP for a virtual cooking class.
A highlight of the 2025 campaign is the Kids Cook at Home virtual cooking event July 16, hosted by Macey Brickweg, Coborn’s registered dietitian. Families are invited to join the interactive class featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients from campaign partners. Access to the event will remain open through July 23, giving families flexibility to participate.
“We love celebrating summer produce with our shoppers, and the Produce for Kids campaign is a meaningful way to do just that while also giving back to our community,” Brickweg said. “Through initiatives like Kids Cook at Home, we’re proud to connect with families and provide the tools they need to build healthier lifestyles year-round.”
Shoppable, dietitian-approved recipes featured throughout the campaign spotlight family-friendly ingredients from this year’s partners: CMI Orchards, Kid’s Choice Watermelon, RealSweet Vidalia Onions, SAMSONS Grapes, T. Marzetti, Tasteful Selections and ¡Yo Quiero! Brands.
