Cambro is committed to providing
durable and versatile products
that allow school foodservice
operators to serve safe, fresh

Revenue
Sources
Finding Grant Money
Public and private sector funds are available to
school districts to purchase service equipment
and fresh produce to expand the use of fruits
and vegetables in schools. There are many
private companies and non-profit organizations
throughout the country that have been assisting
schools with funding. In Texas, a school can
request support for breakfast in the classroom
from the Got Breakfast Foundation and Dairy
Max, a nonprofit industry group. Throughout the
United States, a school can request support for
fresh fruits and vegetables during lunch from
the Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools Campaign or
the United Fresh Produce Association’s A Salad
Bar in Every School Campaign. The U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program
provides assistance to selected low-income
elementary schools to introduce school children
to a variety of produce they otherwise might not
have the opportunity to try. The Versa Food
Service System, insulated transport products and
other customized solutions can provide schools

Solution
Joann Knox, Director of Child Nutrition for the Abilene,
Texas School District worked with her local Cambro®
Representative to create a custom solution to meet
her district’s needs. The Combo Cart™, Camwarmer®,
Camchiller® and a top loading Camcarrier® provide her
with the temperature retention she needs to offer
her students a safe and healthy breakfast to start
t h e d ay. “ We h ave a l m o s t e li m i n a te d t a r d i n e s s
because the students know they won’t get breakfast
if they are tardy,” says Joann. “Once the bell rings,
the transporter is in and out of the hallway in less
than ten minutes.” The Combo Cart holds hot food on
top with a Camwarmer to assist with heat retention.
The cold food is stored on the bottom with a
Camchiller to enhance safe cold holding.

Becky Holter, Foodservice Manager at Apple Valley,
Minnesota High School met the challenge by setting up
a Cambro CamKiosk® and Work Station inside the main
entrance. The CamKiosk stores hot and cold breakfast
options, and the Work Station is used by the school for their
POS system. The CamKiosk brings in additional revenue
and reimbursements that would otherwise be lost.
“We usually have over 100 transactions per day, all of
them within just 20 minutes,” Becky says. The CamKiosk
provides an alternative to fast food restaurants and
increases access to breakfast for students who don’t
typically eat breakfast and those that have limited
time to eat before class.

Why Cambro?
Solution
The Cambro Versa Food Bar® and Buffet Camchiller® are
being introduced at many schools as a salad bar that
can keep food at proper serving temperature for hours
without the hazards of ice. The salad bar offers foodservice
directors the opportunity to offer and attractively display
a variety of fruits and vegetables. New Haven, Connecticut,
School District fills their salad bars with a combination of
fresh fruits and vegetables from their school gardens and
locally grown produce. Houston, Texas, School District
works with the Houston Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Association, a local group of growers and distributors, to
use mostly local grown produce in their salad bars and has
begun school garden projects that may
be used for their salad bars
in the future.

lid and a compact Camchiller® to keep
fruit and vegetables at safe temperatures for extended periods of time.
The idea is to get students to look at fresh, healthy produce snacks as
special treats. It is a safe and visually appealing storage place for the
fresh fruits and vegetables that are used for in-classroom tasting and
learning exercises designed to introduce students to a wider variety of
fresh produce. “Many children grow up not wanting to try vegetables.
We find that knowledge and tasting in the classroom makes students
more likely to eat it in the cafeteria.” says Brenda.
Wanda Pedraza, Director of Staff Development for Miami Dade County,
Florida School District worked with her local Cambro Representative
to create a custom solution that would transport bulk fruit as snacks
to multiple classrooms at 50 different schools 3 days a week. The Flex
Snack Cart is a mobile Camshelving® unit with angled divider bars and
food boxes. This is the ideal solution because it can transport snacks over
different types of terrain and is a vertical solution that can fit in limited
storage spaces. “Parents tell us that students are pointing out various
products in the supermarket that they have tried in school,” says Wanda.
