DALLAS, TX - There’s nothing like a new partnership to get the industry’s blood pumping on this fine Monday. This time around it’s Avocados From Mexico (AFM) and Brighter Bites announcing the renewal of their powerhouse partnership. With AFM adding its avocado prowess to Brighter Bites’ star-studded partners list, the two are only furthering their mission of bring avocados and nutrition education materials to thousands of families across Texas, New York, Maryland, and Florida.
“We are excited to partner with Brighter Bites again this year, providing healthy fruits and vegetables to students across the country for the third consecutive year,” said Alvaro Luque, CEO and President of Avocados From Mexico. “We understand the challenges many families face to get proper nutrition, which is why our AFM employees are grateful for the chance to actively participate in making a difference, especially in our local community.”
