The Power of Produce

Research shows that 80-90% of Americans are not meeting the fruit (2 servings/day) and vegetable (2-3 servings/day) intake recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025. The Health and Safety Division, in partnership with Ascension Public Safety Medical (APSM), created the Power of Produce campaign to help our firefighters meet the daily recommendations. This program will encourage healthy, balanced meals and snacks, full of colorful produce.
