Dole Marks Salad Bar Donation

Dole Food Company on Tuesday will donate salad bars to two California elementary schools, marking the company’s efforts to combat childhood obesity. Dole, which has its North American headquarters in Westlake Village, will give salad bars to Fred L. Williams School in Oxnard and Richard Bard School in Port Hueneme. Childhood obesity affects one-in-three California children between the ages of nine and 11 years old, according to the company’s press release. In celebration of the donation, Dole is scheduled to host an event Tuesday, Nov. 1, at Fred L. Williams School. Sylvia Muñoz Schnopp, mayor of the City of Port Hueneme, plans to attend the event, which will highlight the real-world solutions schools can take to combat the epidemic through healthy lunch options, company officials said.
