Fresh Healthy Vending and Healthy Child Healthy World Announce Winners of Free Healthy Vending Machines
Two Winners Selected to Receive Free Vending Machines Through Online Contest
San Diego, CA, October 01, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Fresh Healthy Vending, the leading healthy vending machine company in the United States, announced two winners of their 2012 online contest in partnership with Healthy Child Healthy World, a national leader for nearly two decades in empowering parents to protect children from chemicals.
“We are so excited to work with Fresh Healthy Vending, a company that shares our values and has made some major strides in improving access to healthier snacks and drinks at schools nationwide,” said Gigi Lee Chang, CEO of Healthy Child Healthy World. “It is core to our mission to help educate families on how their food choices can affect their health, and this contest really resonated with our audience.”
Fresh Healthy Vending has selected Rutherford County Schools in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and The Book Carriage and Coffee Shop in Roanoke, Texas, as the two winners of the online contest, who will each receive a free Fresh Healthy Vending machine in their facilities.
With almost 40 percent of their students being overweight or obese, Rutherford County Schools submitted themselves to win a free healthy vending machine to make positive, healthy changes for the students. “Our vending machines are full of high fat, high calorie, processed foods,” said Jenna Stitzel from Rutherford County Schools. “It’s difficult to move healthy options in because the machines are money-makers for the schools. If one of the healthy machines performed well in a high school, then we believe there would be a domino effect in the remaining schools.”
In addition, The Book Carriage and Coffee Shop has won a free Fresh Healthy Vending Café machine to drive their business, increase productivity, reduce labor costs, and provide an organic coffee option to their customers. A small independent bookstore with a coffee shop, The Book Carriage and Coffee Shop believe their customers would enjoy a self-serve coffee machine that provides high-quality, organic, fair-trade specialty coffee drinks at the touch of a button, as well as healthy organic snacks available in the machine. “We are thrilled to be able to offer our customers their favorite gourmet coffee specialty drinks without the added costs of having to hire a full-time employee or purchase expensive equipment,” said Larry Granados of The Book Carriage and Coffee Shop. “For our customers, we can offer them less expensive coffee drinks with a fraction of the wait time. It’s a win-win situation for both us and our customers.”
Fresh Healthy Vending coordinated the contest in partnership with Healthy Child Healthy World, an organization that shares a mission of encouraging healthier eating habits and safer alternatives for children and families.
