About Us
Bright Apple is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides healthy snacks for students every school day. Many students have lunch at school but don’t eat again until the next day. We can’t begin to close the achievement gap until our children are able to focus on things other than basic necessities. Studies show that if students are behind in reading by third grade, most never catch up and many will not graduate high school. It’s our mission to focus on feeding children so they can focus on learning.
We have relationships with food distributors to have USDA Smart Snacks (apples, bananas, cheese and crackers, etc.) sent directly to our participating Bright Apple Schools. We coordinate with school principals to identify each school's needs, and they make sure their students receive the snacks. For as little as five dollars a month a child can receive a healthy snack all school year.
Our greater goal is to bring Bright Apple to schools across the United States. Will you consider being part of the Bright Apple solution to childhood hunger?
Since 2019 over 1,000,000 healthy snacks have been served to Maury County Students.
Bright Apple currently serves daily snacks in seven Maury County elementary schools.
