Chocolate is a food. So is Pizza.

Here are some important facts about food in fundraising.

Fact #1 All school districts participating in the National School Lunch Program must have a "local" school wellness policy in place. THIS FEDERAL MANDATE DOES NOT RESTRICT THE IN SCHOOL SALE OF CHOCOLATE BARS FOR FUND RAISING.

Fact #2 There are no federal or state restrictions or prohibitions on food products offered as a part of a school fund raiser when the sale of products is intended to take place off the school grounds and after the end of the school day. CHOCOLATE BARS ARE CONSIDERED FOOD.

Fact #3 The federal law that mandates wellness policies at the local level only instructs local school boards to address what children eat during the school day.

Fact #4 Current USDA regulations for food of minimal nutritional value do not prohibit chocolate bar sales in schools. CHOCOLATE IS A FOOD, NOT A CANDY!

Fact #5 Many chocolate bars, including the "One Dollar Bar" which we offer, exceed the minimal nutritional standards established by the USDA.

Fact #6 PIZZA IS A FOOD. It exceeds the minimum nutritional standards, and is an excellent vehicle for fund raising.

Fact #7 CHOCOLATE BARS ARE FOOD. They are excellent vehicles for fund raising.
