Incentivizing Healthy Snacks During Out-of-School Time Through Grocery Store Partnerships.

Context: Volunteer-led out-of-school-time (OST) programs, such as 4-H, scouting, and youth sports, reach a large population of children and are positioned to offer opportunities for healthy eating. However, cost is a barrier to providing healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables (FVs) during OST.

Objective: Offering discounts through grocery store partnerships has shown promise in addressing this barrier in structured, staff-led after-school programs.
